Event Description:

Join us for the 2025 Entrepreneur Field Days series hosted across Greater Des Moines

It all started with the idea that entrepreneurs learn best from entrepreneurs. Take someone's hard-earned lessons and shared skills to jump-start business success. Seed the next generation of entrepreneurs. Cover a broad range of industries and subject knowledge expertise. Grow your perspective and see new areas across the community.  

Young & Driven: The Future of Youth Entrepreneruship 

Speakers: Rita and Ahmed Musa, Co-Founders & CEO

Musa’s Lemonade is a family-run beverage brand led by 8-year-old CEO Rita Musa, serving fresh, all-natural lemonade with a mission. Rooted in the Musa family's South Sudanese heritage, the company brings joy to local farmers markets and major events like the Drake Relays and Black Art Mecca. Through its Sip to Save initiative, 7% of profits support refugee assistance efforts—honoring the family’s journey and giving back to those in need. More than just a refreshing drink, Musa’s Lemonade is a feel-good movement built on flavor, community, and purpose. 

Learn & Discuss:

  • Starting a business at any age to make a difference 
  • Navigating the highs and lows of a family-run business
  • Staying rooted in community values to create impact after profit
  • Building a brand with purpose
Musa Lemonade and lunch will be provided!
