students in Houston, Texas. .

G-Unity Foundation, to help kick off a
business program for high school students. .

his donation, bringing the total to $600,000. .
The G-Unity Business Lab will teach
at-risk students about entrepreneurship. .
According to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner,
students will “engage in MBA-level lessons.”.
[Students will] engage in MBA-level
lessons, that represent the full life cycle of
a product or concept, from idea creation to
marketing branding to running a company, Sylvester Turner, via 'Vibe'.
50 Cent said he is “really excited” to help
provide the “opportunities and tools” for people
to take on entrepreneurship. .
For now, the program is only being offered to three local
high schools, but 50 Cent intends to expand.
Following COVID, providing the opportunities
and tools for people to make their path easier
in entrepreneurship, it’s exciting to be a part of
that. And a great way to start things in Houston.
It’s three schools now, but it’s going to be
a lot more. Watch me, 50 Cent, via 'Vibe'
