Now more than ever, Black History Month is a time to celebrate and highlight the people whose achievements have impacted our country and who will continue to inspire many generations to come.
As a Black Owned company, Black History Month is an important time for us to educate our audience on influential Black leaders and their contribution to society. Every year throughout the month of February, we celebrate and pay tribute to some great leaders who made Black History. You can follow our “You Made Black History” series on our social media pages.
This year, we also had the honor of interviewing on our Chatbox Podcast two amazing young ladies who are paving the way in their industries and who will hopefully become future leaders.
Meet Veronica Rhoten:
Veronica is top in her class when it comes to her academics. She is a sophomore in Little Rock Arkansas. Veronica is an active member of her school’s book club, law club, medical club and model UN club (to name a few). She has won an award at nearly every competition she’s been to (with the exception of one!), she was selected to participate in the National History Day Competition and she was able to advance to the State level. She is in advanced Chinese 3 and she’s competed in various language competitions. Needless to say, Veronica likes to keep herself busy and has a clear goal in mind: Harvard Law School.
Meet Allyn Stephens:
Allyn is an outstanding student and professional golfer. Allyn is a Junior and has been playing golf for more than half of her life; she started at around 7 years old and she is currently 16 years old. Allyn was introduced to Golf at a young age by both her dad and grandfather and she has now won over 75 tournaments including the girls 14-18 division Junior Golf National Championship. With Tiger Woods as a role model, Allyn wishes to follow in his footsteps and one day compete at the U.S. Women’s Open.
