Camille Winbush, actor and entrepreneur Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) - The TPC Foundation, Inc. (TPC) is pleased to announce that Camille Winbush, 15 year old actress and entrepreneur who is owner of her own ice cream parlor Baked Ice, will address her peer attendees at the Smart Start Youth Financial Literacy Program on Saturday, June 25, 2005. The Smart Start Youth Financial Literacy Program will be held from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM during the African American Business Summit 2005 at the Westin Mission Hills Resort and Spa, 71333 Dinah Shore Drive, Rancho Mirage (Palm Springs), California. TPC Foundation, Inc. (TPC) developed the Smart Start Program to change the way high school students view personal finance, understand banking, and manage and maximize their income. In the past, the Smart Start Program has gathered experts who work in the financial industry with youth to share information and show them how to create and sustain comprehensive fiscal responsibility. Attendees have learned how to achieve their dreams through responsible financial success. This year, the attendees will hear from Camille Winbush, a successful ice cream parlor entrepreneur. Located in Southern California's historic Old Town Pasadena, Camille Winbush's ice cream parlor Baked Ice celebrated its 1st anniversary with Winbush receiving the coveted 2004 TeenPreneur Award, from Black Enterprise Magazine. The award recognized Winbush for outstanding business leadership and achievement among her peer group. Winbush and Baked Ice have also been featured in People Magazine, Teen Magazine, Kiplinger's Magazine and Fox News. "We are honored to have Ms. Winbush address the attendees of the program this year," says Smart Start Program Manager Tamika Hinton. "Ms. Winbush is a perfect example of young entrepreneurship. She can speak to her peers about the ups and downs of it and they will listen. We are proud to have developed a solid youth entrepreneur program in association with the African American Business Summit 2005 where teens will walk away with information they can immediately use." This event is FREE to students. For more information regarding the TPC Foundation, Inc. and the Smart Start Youth Financial Literacy Program, please visit: www.tpcfoundation.org.

Thats just... wow... uhm okai, back to the topic at hand.. where I stay I dont know too many young black teens [[around, or my age]] doing good things, but there are some [[like me, and a few people I know]] who frequently help out with the local community center, and participate with the local festivities they do [[which by all means is voluntary work, normally on a friday or saturday]]. The best thing I can say though is going to school, to be at school. Actually taking advantage of the fact that we are allowed to get an education and have the resources that so many others fought for and some lost their lives for in the past. So that the biggest acheivement I can mention, because after all today's students, are tomorrow's future [[I have never heard anyone say, it just sounded good in my head]].

It's nice that she's become an entrepreneur at such an early age. I wish I would've gotten started off early like her because I wouldn't have joined the military. Farrah Gray is another amazing story about young entrepreneurs. Anyone heard of him?

It's a great book for the most part. I'm on Step 7 out of 9 to becoming a "Reallionaire" and enjoyed reading about all his accomplishments. He eats, sleeps and lives Entrepreneurship from reading which is how it should be done to be among the elite.
