The Metro Birmingham Children’s Business Fair was so well organized. Everyone was very kind and supportive of the child vendors. My child learned a lot from the experience like how to put together a business plan. It was a wonderful learning experience. I would definitely recommend this business fair for any child interested in entrepreneurship. It was top quality from beginning to the end!P.S. The organizers, Charita and Sabrina were wonderful. They were so loving, supportive and encouraging to all of the child vendors. We love and appreciate them so much!!!  Cescelie Jelks

So far this has been a wonderful experience. It’s encouraging to see other parents who are instilling the same values we teach our children regarding entrepreneurship. I hope people come out to show support because there are some amazing businesses on the rise right now. – Antoine Sowell

2018 will be our daughter Ja’Cayla’s first time being a part of The Metro Birmingham Children’s Business Fair.  We attended the Meet & Greet and received some very valuable information, tips and advice! My daughter got a chance to work the room and chat with several of the other young business owners. Some who had participated before as well as some new blood like her. I was blessed to do the same. Met some amazing parents who were extremely open to sharing where they purchased needed items, and web companies that proved to be extremely valuable!! We are so thankful to God for this opportunity to encourage our child and other young people to tap into their gifts and talents!!  Shonquella Johnson McGhee

A great oppotunity for children to learn so many things as business owners, public speaking, finances, advertising and so much more. – D- Green Joseph

Thank you so much for this program!!  This is our first time participating in the fair and we have absolutely loved it. The communication is excellent. The Meet and Greet was amazing, with great professional speakers, hearing from other parents who have participated before and learning ways to support our son as he takes this big step. The real life lessons he’s learned from this experience (time management, budgeting, planning, marketing, meeting the other kids bosses, etc) will stay with him long past the event.  I am so proud of all the kids! There are some talented, bright, creative youth in our community, and this an awesome way to support them and encourage them that the sky is the limit with hard work and dedication! – Julia McGraw

The Metro Birmingham Children’s Business Fair was an amazing event to showcase young entrepreneurs who have decided to strike out on a business as young as 6 years old!!! Some entrepreneurs had been in business as long as 5 years!!! Wow!!
This was an awesome event put together by a powerhouse duo and their hard work is seen the quality of the fair.   I believe students from across Birmingham should come to the next event to support their peers or to showcase their business. This should be a staple in the city!  Adrienne Starks, STREAM Innovations.
