October 31, 2006- Washington DC. As an in demand entrepreneurship speaker, the world
needs to get ready for the new voice of the youth generation. Meet Quinn Conyers, a

University and recent founder of Speak2Society, a
professional speaking firm specializing in entrepreneurship motivational speaking.
Quinn is currently touring the United States attending conferences, colleges, and
youth organizations motivating, inspiring, and empowering students and young adults
to choose entrepreneurship as the ultimate career choice
“If you do what you love you’ll never have to work another day in your life!” says
Quinn, who believes that the only way to financial freedom, wealth, and independence
is through entrepreneurship.
Quinn shares her business expertise through her interactive presentations and as the
entrepreneurship editor of two popular businesses magazines. AFRO-Lutions Magazine
Inc., and the Baltimore Times Small and Minority Business Magazine, are two
publications Quinn highlights emerging and aspiring entrepreneurs
that are among
today’s top business savvy youth.
Quinn’s accomplishments do not stop there. The National Institute for Urban
Entrepreneurship (NIUE) highlighted Quinn as the March 2006 Entrepreneur of the
Month. Quinn has even caught the attention of the federal government by being named
an Emerging Business Leader by the Minority Business Development Agency. In addition
to that Quinn was chosen as an Emerging Minority Business Leader by the West
Virginia High Technology Foundation where she earned a $1500 scholarship
in a
business boot camp for two weeks in Wheeling West Virginia this past summer. In
both programs she placed second in a competitive business plan competition among
students from all across the United States and Puerto Rico.
Believe it or not Quinn finds time to study and finish up her second degree while
making history at Howard. Studying Mass Communications Media Studies with a
specialization in Entrepreneurship, Quinn is currently writing a book on minority
youth entrepreneurship in addition to writing her thesis on a similar topic. She has
uniquely coupled her passion with an academic and entrepreneurial twist that is
proving to be beneficial. The Capitol Speakers Club of Washington DC has also
