Jordan Buckner of Tea Squares is on a social mission to provide opportunity to Chicago's South Side.
His team provides superfood energy treats while helping to mentor and teach others along the way.
In fact, Buckner and his team have launched a fellowship program to recruit young adults in underserved communities to train them in business.
His company provides opportunities for individuals who may not have the opportunities of others to achieve their goals. For Buckner, it's about creating products and building an equitable business that help improve people's lives and creating a ripple effect to encourage others to do the same.
