LITE Memphis Fellow & Mentor Terini Dewberry Discusses what LITE meant to her.

Terini Dewberry joined LITE Memphis during her last semester of high school and, though that could have been the end of her involvement, it was just the beginning.

LITE Memphis works to equip Black and Latinx students with 21st century skills to create wealth through entrepreneurship. The goal is to reduce, and one day eliminate, the existing wealth gap by helping young people start their own businesses. Programming starts in high school with community workshops that feed into LITE’s Finalist Program. Finalists receive monetary support to launch their dream idea through LITE’s entrepreneurship curriculum. For eight years, LITE students have been supported through paid internship matching, business coaching, and career development.
