Being an entrepreneur is a long and challenging road. Even before the pandemic, many a visionary had designs on moving away from the 9-5 crucible that is corporate America and launch their own dreams. Their stories, never the same, as some begin their own businesses with sights on financial success only, and others, such as Oopseez’s founder Keyana Bowie, at a moment’s notice. In 2020, Oopseez was nominated by the Chamber of Commerce as an Emerging New Business Award and Excellence in Small Business. Through hard work and determination she has been able to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and will be featured in an extraordinary venture to share her story.

Oopseez, which was our first ever PW Innovator, provides direct messages to the owner of a parked car to quickly resolve a sounding horn, or precarious parking when the owner is not at the wheel. You can find out more information at their website. Recently Bowie completed the BIG Pre-Accelerator Program at Digital Undivided, a non-profit organization that create pathways in Black & Latinx women entrepreneurs. Tomorrow from 3:00 – 4:30pm EST Digital Undivided will be hosting the BIG Bang Founder Showcase. Its purpose is to connect a network of investors, stakeholders and facilitators to connect with game-changing businesses such as Oopseez. Bowie will be among several entrepreneurs who shared their business pitch as well.

Those interested in RSVP for the event can visit Digital Undivided’s website.
