Last week, I had the opportunity to judge Philadelphia Financial Scholars’ Semi Final Student Pitch Competition hosted at the @p4.hub It was truly an honor to listen to high school students pitch their businesses that ranged from Clothing to Cuisine and everything in between. As Sulaiman Rahman said, these students are “uncommon” as they are changing the way economic development looks for young people. It is uncommon for high schoolers to come up with million dollar plans and have the confidence to present in front of a room full of people. It is uncommon, but with organizations like Philadelphia Financial Scholars, it will one day be common to have conversations about money, entrepreneurship, financial stability, and so much more. As an empowered for positive relationships with money and increasing the possibilities of attaining wealth, I was honored to be apart of this event. It was a pleasure to serve alongside Iola Harper, M.A. and Sterling Green . And once again, thank you to Kerry Wagner Woodward for inviting me to be apart of this event. Congratulations to the winners Curbside Cuisine and @the.movement.department ! #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #pfs #philadelphiafinancialscholars #missphiladelphia #tyneciawilson

We’re “Standing On Business” and making sure the students of Simon Gratz High School are too! Special thank you to @sgmcbulldogs & @saroya_marie for inviting me to speak to students about both my experiences so far as Miss Philadelphia and my role as the Program Coordinator for Leadership and Service at Temple! There were over 150 professionals that came together for this event to inform Philadelphia youth about the multitude of paths they can take as they inch closer to graduation. #misspascholarshipfoundation #missphiladelphia #simongratz #careerday #tyneciawilson #philly #highschool

Meraki, a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work; and that’s exactly what happens at @merakeyorg ! This month I was invited to @merakeyorg ‘s annual bowling tournament! This multi-location event was designed to promote community among Merakey staff, individuals we serve, and friends of the organization. It was amazing to see all of the staff that work hard to uplift and continue the mission of Merakey and the clients that continue to benefit from its services. It was also a pleasure to meet the CEO, Joesph Martz; thank you for the great conversation and advice. Thank you Merakey for having me and @ourtownalley for hosting. I can’t wait to bowl with you all next year! PS- special shout out to my Mother for making this happen 🥹🩷 #merakey #nonprofit #giveback #meraki
