Offer young people a business education to tackle inequality, says entrepreneur

A young businessman has said offering young people from low-income or under-represented backgrounds an entrepreneurial education can help to tackle societal and racial inequality.

Born and raised on a South-London council estate, British-Ghanaian William Adoasi, 31, founded high-end watch brand Vitae London in 2016 and recently saw the company surpass one million US dollars in revenue.

For every watch sold, Vitae London supports a child in aub-Saharan Africa through education – providing them with two sets of school uniforms and shoes for a year or a solar-powered lamp so they have a light source with which to study.

This Day in History: William Shakespeare Is Born

This Day in History:, William Shakespeare Is Born. April 23, 1564. The most-performed dramatist of all-time was most likely born on this day in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Little is known about Shakespeare's early years, mainly because of his unremarkable living situation. He would have studied Latin and the classics in grammar school, but Shakespeare received no university education. Instead, he married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18, who gave birth to their first child six months later. Shakespeare emerged as a playwright of note in London in the 1590s. Over the next twenty years, he would pen some of the most significant works of the English language, including 'Hamlet,' 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'King Lear.'. Shakespeare died in the place of his birth, on the day he is thought to have been born, in 1616
