Looking to rethink what it means to be an entrepreneur? We recommend watching Saamra Mekuria-Grillo's powerful story on embracing entrepreneurship and empowering young people from all backgrounds to see themselves as makers of jobs.💡 Growing up around small business owners, Saamra didn’t see herself as an entrepreneur until later in life. In her inspiring TED-Ed Talk, she shares how seeing other Black women as founders helped her break down those barriers and sparked her mission to ensure young people see themselves as creators, not just participants. Her journey reveals the importance of diverse role models, mentorship, and access to networks. Saamra’s message is a call to action for us all: to equip young leaders with the skills, confidence, and inspiration they need to shape their entrepreneurial journeys. 🎥 Watch now and discover how we can support a more inclusive future in entrepreneurship: https://lnkd.in/dtA7WP43 #AGOF #EntrepreneurshipForAll #EmpoweringYouth #FutureBuilders #CreatingOpportunities #TedTalk
