We believe in community partnerships.

We often underestimate the brilliance, creativity, and potential of our young people. At the C.E.O. Collective, we’re determined to change that! 💙

Yesterday morning, before our final C.E.O. Exchange Block Party of 2026, Principal Charnelle Shephard of Kernodle Middle School and I hosted a business planning session with our second cohort of young entrepreneurs through our Kidpreneur Initiative for Guilford County Schools students.

Their creativity, intellect, and entrepreneurial spirit continue to amaze me. Too often, young people are underestimated because of their age. Our goal is not only to change how others see them, but also how they see themselves.

We want them to recognize their abilities, believe in their ideas, and understand that they can create opportunities for themselves and others.

Last year’s cohort hosted a successful Spring Market, transforming their schools gymnasium to showcase and sell their products while gaining confidence and real-world entrepreneurial experience. This year, we’re expanding the initiative to middle and high school students throughout Guilford County Schools, with Holiday and Spring Markets ahead.

I’m especially grateful for Principal Charnelle Shephard, who unselfishly gives her Saturdays to mentor and encourage these young entrepreneurs. Charnelle, thank you for your vision, dedication, and partnership. We’re honored to partner with Kernodle Middle on this initiative.

Entrepreneurship is about more than building businesses. It’s about building confidence, developing leaders, and helping young people believe in their potential.

Sometimes, all it takes is someone who believes in them enough to help them believe in themselves. 💙

Yesterday morning, before our final C.E.O. Exchange Block Party of 2026, Principal Charnelle Shephard of Kernodle Middle School and I spent time with our second cohort of young entrepreneurs through our Kidpreneur Initiative in Guilford County Schools.

What a day! What a way to close out our final C.E.O. Exchange Block Party of 2026! 💙

To say yesterday came with challenges would be an understatement! Between the overnight rain that continued into the afternoon, the drop in temperature, high winds, electrical challenges for our DJ, and last-minute vendor cancellations, it seemed like everything that could go wrong did!

But then something beautiful happened.

The weather improved, the community started showing up, and a challenging day became an incredible reminder of why we do what we do.

We watched entrepreneurs who had never met connect, collaborate, support one another, and even share tents! Vendor feedback was overwhelmingly positive, but what meant the most were the conversations about their businesses, challenges, goals, and how the C.E.O. Collective can support their growth.

Because for us, it’s never been just about hosting a pop-up event.

We’re building a community where entrepreneurs don’t have to navigate their journeys alone. We want to be your cheerleaders, mentors, connectors, and advocates. Most importantly, we’re entrepreneurs ourselves. We understand the sacrifices, uncertainty, long days, and determination it takes to build something from the ground up.

We’re entrepreneurs FOR entrepreneurs. We don’t just talk about entrepreneurship. We live it, breathe it, and have our boots on the ground every day!

A special shoutout to 🎶🎙🥁In Tune INC.🎹🎷🎶 (live music) and Hot Dog Central of Greensboro our amazing food truck partner, who always comes through with delicious food and exceptional customer service! We appreciate you!

To every vendor who persevered, every community member who came out to shop local, and everyone who helped turn a difficult start into a wonderful finish, THANK YOU!

Yesterday reminded us that success isn’t always about everything going according to plan. Sometimes it’s about the connections we make, the relationships we build, and how we show up for one another.

We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful way to close out our final Block Party of the year.
