Ready to Archive Some Amazing Memories?

Join us October 10 at CO-LAB at UNC Charlotte Center City to hear from Cheryse Terry — Charlotte native, mother, vintage collector, self-taught archivist, and the visionary founder of ARCHIVE CLT. Through grassroots fundraising, she brought her café and community hub on Beatties Ford Road to life. In just five months after opening, Cheryse’s work preserving Black history and culture caught the attention of the Today Show. Her personal collection even graced the walls of the Mint Museum’s exhibition “The Vault.”

But here’s what makes Cheryse’s story perfect for our morning together: she didn’t wait for permission to become the change she wished to see. She saw what her community needed and made it happen — one vintage find, one story, one preserved piece of history at a time.Cheryse knows that creative entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting a business. It’s about building something that matters, something that lasts, something that serves your community.

So … Let’s All Have a CreativeMorning — Entrepreneur Style!
