Bayless Entrepreneurship Winner: Deshna! 🤩

Last week, we wrapped up our Bayless Entrepreneurship Internship with a Pitch Event! Interns pitched their business idea to a panel of judges and only one teen was awarded seed money to kickstart their idea. Congrats, Deshna, for being our winner this season! Your professionalism and knowledge is sure to get you far!

Thank you, Justin Bayless, for your continuous support of this internship! Because of you, we’re able to give teens the knowledge they need to be success entrepreneurs.
