During last year’s Southern Heritage Classic, Skyla Barber was one of the vendors, marketing her online clothing and accessory business. Her support included her mother, Janice (left). SHC Founder Fred Jones Jr. said, “I’m glad to learn that this young entrepreneur participated in the Southern Heritage Classic. It’s a great place for vendors of all ages with wonderful products to access thousands of people. I commend her efforts and all the other youth who have decided to start businesses. I wish her much success. Thanks Skylar for making the Classic a part of your journey.” (Photo: Shirley Jackson/The New Tri-State Defender)
