Client Spotlights

We met Jewel Domino when she was accepted into UCEDC’s Virtual Incubator Program(VIP), which offers selected businesses with ownership from underserved populations free mentorship, training, and access to capital to help meet the challenges of this moment. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Ms. Domino had a career in Industrial Management. For over ten years, she worked in a lab, and then she led a team in the field, working with materials like concrete. After some medical issues, Jewel’s doctors told her she couldn’t return to the field, regardless of her passion. She hated the idea of resuming an office job, so she pivoted to her other passion, cooking and started BelleJohns’ Soul Food.
