Your Own Uniqueness, Inc. is a non-profit 501c3 organization (Federal Tax ID #38-3549458) whose mission is to help women and youth reach their full potential by overcoming the barriers that prevent them from achieving their goals and fulfilling their purpose. The STEP UP Ladies and Youth Programs are age-appropriate, comprehensive, innovative, and interactive training and mentorship entrepreneurship programs. Through the STEP UP programs, we empower women and young people to build their self-confidence and skills to experience meaningful and successful careers by starting their own businesses. This program will motivate women and young people to explore their aspirations and take control of their pathway choices. Our program focuses on developing entrepreneurial skills that will improve a woman and a young person’s ability to identify their skills, passions, and attributes that will assist them in the future.


The STEP UP programs are nine and ten-week entrepreneur training and mentorship courses that will meet once a week for a three-hours each for an AM session and a PM session for the women's program and a five-hour duration, four hours devoted to actual classroom time, and one hour for a break and lunch which will be provided by the youth program. The programs provide a comprehensive knowledge of starting a business by obtaining skills in various areas such as business etiquette, dressing for success, writing a feasible business plan, marketing strategies, and other relevant topics to achieve success with starting, running, and sustaining their businesses. Both programs provide motivational speakers in their industry of business, mentors, and instructors who are well-versed in their professional fields. The participants will also learn how to pitch their ideas to potential funders.


Our programs are unique because the participants are Low to moderate-income women and disadvantaged youths who have a passion to start their own businesses, and we are targeting participants in a certain geographical region this allows us to keep our number of participants manageable and give each participant the attention needed to succeed. They will be coming from Metro Detroit and surrounding cities. They will learn how to obtain their DBA papers, EIN#, articles of organization, or incorporation and they will write a business plan that will assist them in obtaining potential funding. This program is available to those who are truly serious about having a viable business and as a reward, at the end of the course, the participants will receive a business start-up package to help jump-start their businesses.


We are honored to give you, our local leaders, businesses, and organizations the opportunity to participate in changing the lives of so many worthy low-to-moderate women and youths who just need the knowledge, skills, and encouragement to be successful contributors to our society. We are looking for instructors, speakers (mentors), donations, financial sponsors, and in-kind sponsors. We are not asking for a handout we are asking for a step up so that we can inspire and help our low-to-moderate-income women and young participants to reach their goals of becoming future business leaders in our communities. All of you remember your beginning and all the hard work it entailed. Let this be your passion. Help us help these young people by getting involved.
