Create Campaign

A week later, we are still thinking about about the exciting end to Launch Week 2026! ✨

We closed out the week with the Launch Week Pitch Competition, where entrepreneurs competed for the opportunity to advance to the Startup World Cup and a shot at the $1 million grand prize.

The competition was especially meaningful as it brought things full circle—last year, Shaunita and Amarah first met while competing side-by-side.

A major shoutout to Ti'Juana for an incredible Launch Week, and congratulations to every entrepreneur, including Spark Alumni, Toni Jones who stepped up to pitch. Until next time, Launch Week! 👋🏽

HEART HUSTLER. Building a business is one thing. Building people is another.

As a Heart Hustler, you've learned that success isn't just measured by revenue—it's measured by the impact you make, the team you build, and the trust you earn.

Ask yourself:
Are you ready to level up digitally?
Is your audience growing with your vision?
Are you building a customer experience people remember?

At UHustle, you'll gain the tools, strategies, and leadership insights to help you grow with intention. Because the strongest businesses are built by leaders who invest in people as much as they invest in profits.

Swipe through the carousel and see if you're ready for your next level of leadership.
🎟️ Join us at UHustle and start building more than a business—start building a legacy.

Early Bird pricing won't last forever. Secure your seat today and invest in the future you're building. ​​​​Use the code UHSTL26 at checkout. https://www.createcampaignks.com/event-details/uhustle-digital-strategy-conference-2

Back in the classroom! Session Three is officially in the books!

Last week, we put the money in money management. At Spark, we’re building businesses—not hobbies. And as we like to say: if it doesn’t make money, it doesn’t make sense!

But we don’t expect our entrepreneurs to take our word for it. We bring in local industry experts to share real-world knowledge and connect with our entrepreneurs.

Huge thank you to Nick Storm of Meritrust Credit Union for presenting the 5 C's of Credit to our class!

Another session, another spark! ✨
