2012 Young Entrepreneurs Conference Sponsorship

ON THE COVER Joshua Eaddy Pastery Chef

Alyssa-Ann Warren, Dominic Moody, Darius Moody are the owners of Candles by Kids. Ever since she was 5, Alyssa-Ann always wanted to sell things. She use to ask her mom and dad if she could sell cookies or lemonade even her toys. One day her father came across a candle making kit and thought it would be a good idea me to make and sell the candles. So she got my brothers Dominic and Darius to help out.

Joshua Eaddy was born on November 4, 1996 in Florence, SC. He has been cooking since he was seven years old. He baked his first cake on Christmas day of 2009. It was a red velvet cake. He started a cake business after that. The name of Joshua’s business is “Cakes by Josh”.

Joshua does all of the baking for his mother’s catering business. He loves to put his own spin on traditional cake recipes and other dishes.

Joshua is currently a freshman at South Florence High School in Florence, SC and is an honor student. He is a member of BADD (Black Achievers Determined to be Different) and played on the band for two years. Joshua plans to go to culinary school and own a chain of restaurants called MITYSO. The name comes from his favorite saying when he makes a dish that turns out really good, “Mama I Told You So”! He is very confident in his abilities as a chef.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!

7 out of 10 High School students want to start their own companies. But only 25% of high school graduates know the definition of the word entrepreneur.

Less than 25% of High School students are offered a business or entrepreneurial course by the time they graduate. (Gallup) 71.2 of African American children, 69.2 % of Hispanic children and 33.4 % of white children in the State of SC are living 200% below the poverty level. (Annie E.
