Earlier this month BUILDFest NYC's keynote speaker, alumnus Mohamed Diallo, took to the stage to deliver a powerful speech about his journey from BUILD high school entrepreneur to college graduate with a degree in Africana Studies and Business Administration from University at Albany! We are super excited for his journey, please take a moment to hear excerpts from his speech. 🗣️ "BUILD, operating in the heart of the Bronx, played a pivotal role in nurturing my entrepreneurial spirit. It provided me with the guidance and exposure necessary to turn my dreams into reality. From the moment I stepped foot into BUILD, I knew I was part of something special........ BUILD not only provided me with opportunities but also instilled in me the belief that anything is possible with hard work, dedication, and a commitment to doing good in business....... In closing, let us remember that no dream is too big, and no goal is too ambitious. Through the nurturing environment of BUILD, the invaluable mentorship I've received, and the unwavering belief in myself and my dreams, I've learned that success in business is about doing good for others and staying true to yourself. Together, let's continue to build a future filled with endless possibilities.” #BUILD #BUILDFestNYC #motivation #success #entrepreneurship #love #inspiration #mindset #entrepreneurlife #lifestyle #marketing #money #life #businessowner #startup #instagram #believe #positivevibes #motivational #inspire #hustle
