After years of facing companies outsourcing jobs and relocating overseas, work replaced by technology, and graduates facing few

Or no opportunities in the job market, I started thinking of creative ways to overcome these realities and open new doors. That’s when I realized that “being your own boss” was not a bad idea. Opening a small business allows you to tailor your own future, make independent decisions, and the freedom to manage work/life balance. However, there is an important group of people who lack the information and resources to start their own business.

For this reason, we decided to create the National American Outreach Foundation (NAOF), an educational 501 c (3) non-profit organization that will open new doors of opportunities for people of all communities with an emphasis on minority communities.
