Today we’d like to introduce you to Devoe Sherman. Them and their team share their story with us below:
De’Voe Sherman is a graduate of Woodward High School class of 2012 and is from Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied Political Science/ Liberal Arts at the University of Cincinnati. He was born and raised in Cincinnati and now wants to give back/work with the city with a vision of constructing a plan for everyone to live in harmony. Devoe says, “My involvement in the church has made me a better person with better character.” De’Voe is driven to implement programs for students who need guidance and this stems from his time in high school. While attending Woodward High, he started to think about how to help the students graduate on time and begin their future careers consistently.
Devoe Sherman, known as The Electrified Speaker, is one of Cincinnati’s Premier Millennial Entrepreneurs and a true “Poverty to Success” story. De’Voe has built his career in a variety of roles and industries; mostly in small companies where he is the gatekeeper, business consultant, blogger, and community organizer. In his 27 years of life, he has experienced many heartbreaks and joys and has learned what it takes to hustle through tumultuous storms. He is a thriving businessman who believes in elevating success and making a positive impact in the community.
He is a modern-day serial entrepreneur who operates two business ventures. De’Voe is the educational director for First Generation Leaders of America, FGLA, which is a whole-person centered mentoring and academic support program that delivers life skills and motivation in a proven, engaging format.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Entrepreneurship is all about taking risks and making things happen, but it’s not always easy. There are a lot of things that I struggled with, but here are the three biggest ones.
1. Making money
Making money is one of the biggest struggles for me especially during the pandemic. It was challenging to find customers drive sales, and make a profit when you’re just starting
2. Balancing work and life
Balancing work and life was challenging as well. I had to work long hours and put in a lot of effort to get their business off the ground, which was tough on my personal life. I couldn’t commit all my time to the business.
3. Handling failure
Handling failure is also a big challenge for me – it’s difficult to watch your business fail after putting so much time and energy into it.
Despite these challenges, entrepreneurship is still a gratifying experience. If you can overcome these struggles, you’ll be in a much better position to succeed. So don’t give up – keep fighting, and you’ll eventually achieve your goals.
