FINDING INSPIRATION IN SBDC / INCUBATOR PARTNERSHIPS

Tovi Khali and Storie Devereaux own a business where they make soaps, candles, and other home goods. “Shopping for soaps was difficult; Tovi has alopecia and Graves’ disease, and most products are harsh on sensitive skin. She created soaps, tested them on herself, then made them available to others with the same issues.” Devereaux said. Being surrounded by other Black entrepreneurs at the Boxville business incubator, in partnership with the Illinois SBDC at Build Bronzeville on the south side of Chicago, is a source of inspiration for them. “Anytime you’re an entrepreneur in the Black community, it’s always a plus. We were already entrepreneurs when we were performing. Anytime you work for yourself, that’s entrepreneurship,” Devereaux said.
