A 20-year-old lady named Aaliyah Duah has graduated from Virginia State University, United States, and was presented the Entrepreneur of the Year award for her significant contributions.

Aaliyah Duah graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s degree in Business management. She was named the Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) Entrepreneur of the Year.

At the young age of 20, Aaliyah is the owner of Financial Revolution, a social media platform that uses entertaining and relatable content to educate her peers on the importance of financial literacy and entrepreneurship.

Aaliyah mentioned that growing up in Brooklyn, New York City, she witnessed firsthand the negative impact that poor financial decisions can have on individuals and communities.

She added that it was during the pandemic that she had a revelation, realizing that she had been valuing materialistic things over what truly matters. Aaliyah stated that she decided to start a financial revolution in the Black community,  working tirelessly to achieve that goal.

While in college, Aaliyah published her first book, The Blueprint for Investing, which provides readers with a step-by-step guide to investing in the stock market. In just two weeks, she was able to break statistics and sell over 100 copies.
