 Yayra Tamakloe, born and raised in Ghana, Africa, immigrated to the United States in 2010. A Kent State University graduate, Yayra knew she had always wanted to be an entrepreneur and create things for herself, but didn’t know how exactly she was going to get to that point.
In 2019, Yayra formed the Pan African Library Project—a consolidated place for black people to locate black and cultural content without doing extensive research to find it. The P.A.L Project works as a movement to get these communities the resources they need to learn about and experience different and familiar cultures.  Bethesda Wellness and Founder Carly Caraballo

With a passion for creativity and a strong belief in holistic wellness, Carly has created a haven where individuals can find solace and rejuvenation.  Derek Rymers, a graduate of John Carroll University, discusses his journey as a student entrepreneur and how he applied his education to start his business, Nightlyfe.
While balancing school, work, and networking, Derek found himself averaging only four hours of sleep per night as he continued to work hard to achieve his goals. He understood the risks of entrepreneurship prior to starting his business, and described the lifestyle as “not for the faint of heart.” Although Derek had to sacrifice sleep, he found success as an entrepreneur.
