Two years ago, Junior Achievement of Southwest New England inducted me into their Business Hall of Fame. It was a wonderful honor and made special because my children were there to see me accept the award. It’s no secret that I got the entrepreneurial bug at a young age. I believe it is one of our greatest responsibilities to inspire and educate the next generation.
This week, the JA torch was passed to my oldest daughter Somia, a director here at Edible. JA announced her appointment to the organization’s New Haven Advisory Board. I know that she will make a positive impact and continue to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs to follow their dreams.
As Somia tells it: “I’ve grown up in an entrepreneurial family. I admire innovation 
and education. I’m honored to be joining the board and contributing to empowering young people through JA programs. To be able to do this in the community that I call home is special to me.”
I think it’s special as well. Congratulations!
