_It’s not surprising John-Muyiwa was chosen. Not only is he a senior majoring in petroleum engineering at the Cullen College who is maintaining an impressive 3.9 GPA – he’s also earned a certificate in corporate entrepreneurship from the Wolff Center of Entrepreneurship at the University and is working on getting his business, a social enterprise, called “Blademy,”off the ground. The mission of Blademy is to provide an e-learning platform to help Black millennials develop new skills. _
Originally from Nigeria, John-Muyiwa grew up in southwest Houston. “I didn’t really have the best opportunities growing up and the opportunities I did have, I kind of figured things out by luck,” he said.
