Entrepreneurship Tips from CEOs Who Mentored During Disney Dreamers Academy

Disney is sharing part two of their three-part series “Chasing Dreams” – sharing inspirational lessons from the Disney Dreamers Academy Virtual Program Series. Check out their tips via the video and details as shared below by DisneyParksBlog:

 

Entrepreneurship has always been an important topic for the Disney Dreamers Academy. In fact, the Class of 2020 included 6 students who are currently running their own businesses or charitable organizations and several other aspiring business owners. Azaria Cherry of Norfolk, VA is one of the current entrepreneurs.  At age 13, she started a non-profit, ZincGirlz, designed to introduce inner city girls to STEM, while Adonna McBride of McDonough, GA is an aspiring business owner who plans to own an international law firm upon graduation. 

During the 2020 virtual program, Disney invited three successful businesswomen who run their own companies to share insights with the class of Disney Dreamers on how planning, inspiration, fearlessness and other skills are keys to successful entrepreneurship. Tune in for these tips from CEOs Sonia Jackson-Myles, who after 20 years as a corporate executive, started her own company The Sister Accord, a mentoring program for girls and women; Becky Davis, CEO & Chief Bosspreneur of MVPworks, who is recognized as one of the nation’s leading business experts; and 16-year-old Mikaila Ulmer, whose lemonade company, Me & The Bees was featured on ABC’s Shark Tank and is sold at major grocery stores nationwide.
