Hey everyone! My name is Myavia, and I run a growing reading tutoring business dedicated to helping struggling youth build fundamental literacy skills and academic confidence. My biggest goal right now is scaling my operations sustainably, mastering client acquisition, and positioning my business to secure government contracts and grants so we can expand our reach to the families who need us most. I’m fully committed to diving into the RISE Framework and would love to connect with like-minded operators. Let’s network, learn, and grow together!

Imagine you just received a $1.5 million grant, but you have 60 seconds to decide what ONE community issue you're solving. What issue are you solving and what will that look like?

As a fellow business owner, I know firsthand that when you are just starting out, $1,000 can be the difference between staying stuck and finally having the breathing room to work on your business instead of just in it. That could be your first website. Your operating procedures manual. A month of inventory. A client you didn't have to chase. That is exactly why I created this award. The RISEhigHER Elevation Award is a $1,000 Small Business Award offered by The Murchison Consulting Group, LLC, sponsored by 2020 Counseling Professionals, PLLC, designed specifically for women-owned small businesses who are building something real in a community that honors her whole life. You are eligible if you: ✅ Be a member of the RISEhigHER Network ✅ Own a registered business in operation for at least 6 months ✅ Are a woman-owned business (51% or more) ✅ Have fewer than 10 full-time employees ✅ Have not previously received this award Applications are FREE. No purchase necessary. 📅 Deadline: July 31 🔗 Apply now at risehigheraward.com Share this with every woman in your circle who is building something. She deserves this opportunity.

Tell us your name, what your business (or idea) is, and what your biggest current goal is.

Congratulations ro @Crystal Roberson on officiating her 1st wedding for one of her church members and a loved one near and dear to her!
