How did this business/plan get birthed?Displaying IMG_3176.JPG

Causing a catalyst for discussion among business leaders, Bob Johnson, former owner of the Charlotte Bobcats (now the Charlotte Hornets) noted to 200 local black business people at the Westin Hotel, “Charlotte is a very, how would I call it, close knit, arrogant, sometimes incestuous town…” .

After reading the aforementioned article in the Charlotte Observer on May 2, 2010 discussing the lack of a robust African -American business community, the 7-0-4 Plan became my brainchild. An extensive research was conducted to understand the link between entrepreneurship and economic growth, the role of entrepreneurship education, identification of entrepreneurial traits and examination of different teaching methods. Research was done through different components and now reflects my vision of how to build a diverse business community.

Generations United has a graphic design team that create the designs. Generations United has a manufacturing group that manufactures all of our own phone cases and license plates. We also, have a sales team compromised of family members throughout the United States.

CicelyRenee: This is what I call the Beehive/Ant Hill Mentality, where everyone in the family has their specific talent and they use those talents to build. This is so inspiring.

Who is this product for and why?

The products are for the Veterans and currently there are very few and limited high quality case designs. This is for the military personnel, we have the best designs for them that I have ever seen. We also have the black fraternities and sororities which are limited smart phone cases for their members and we also have black colleges and universities coming this year.
