Around the Way App
CEO
New York
@Janine Hausif uprooted her life to Brooklyn, New York soon after earning her Bachelor's degree in Communication in her hometown in Maryland. One chance afternoon Janine noticed a large decal plastered to a local business's window that read "Black-Owned Business." After several months of brainstorming and development, Janine has launched Around the Way- a geo-location mobile app that locates the nearest Black-owned businesses. "The goal of Around the Way is to take these businesses from Main Street to mainstream." Janine explains "Mobile technology is the wave of the future. It's important for Black-owned businesses to remain relevant and competitive in today's economy."
The fun stuff: When I make free time I like to enjoy live comedy and live music. I love podcasts. I love wine. I love laughing... I love lamp.
