Business of the Week #CEOMOM Serves Moms on a Mission Devon Graham, MBA, is a wife, mother, community leader and Urban Business Strategist dedicated to seeing a positive shift in small business and economic development through entrepreneurship in underserved communities. She’s the Chief Solutions Officer of CEOMom and Founder of The Biz Spot Community, a non-profit. In short, Devon shows up for people.

After becoming a mother while in college, there were times Devon felt that she couldn't be successful at wearing the many hats of wife, mother, and business owner; but she persisted...and succeeded.

And it was this journey that fueled her burning desire to help other moms do the same. She founded #CEOMom to help moms realize that they don't have to sacrifice their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs while raising children. #CEOMOM provides empire building assistance, kid friendly meet ups, and opportunities to connect with other women, improve your business, and grow together.

Devon also teaches youth entrepreneurial skills and how to create their own economies, despite challenges. Her work with over 10,000 youth in entrepreneurship and technology and over 100+ small businesses has been recognized on a national, regional, and local level with, among other awards, a proclamation from her hometown of East St. Louis, Illinois State Comptroller and was chosen under the Obama administration in 2015 to participate in the White House "My Brother's Keeper" STEM Roundtable to create action steps towards equity for black and brown children.

Over the last 10 years as a business owner, community leader and developer, Devon has been purposed to see business owners DO more, GET more and BE more. In March 2018, she was named an America Small Business National Champion by SCORE Mentors and Sam’s Club for helping moms succeed in business.

You can learn more about her work at www.ceomomspeaks.com and www.thebizspotinc.org.

Good News Breaking Stereotypes and Inspiring Peers. Cool Story Bro. Yes, Black boys DO read. And yes...it's cool. Books and Bros CEO and Founder, 11 year-old Sidney Keys III, is using his love of reading to shatter stereotypes and promote literacy amongst his peers.

After being inspired by a trip to Eye See Me bookstore, where he read stories with characters who look like him, Sidney decided to take his love for reading to the next level by creating Books n Bros Reading Club. Hosting monthly meet ups with different boys, ages 7-13 years old, he is paving the way for change.

Books n Bros is not only encouraging literacy within Black Culture & African American Literature, but also Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy and Endless Possibilities!

If you'd like to contribute to this worthy mission, you can donate, adopt-a-bro, or even become a big-bro. Visit www.booksandbros.com for more information.
