Deryl McKissack’s career is a culmination of effort from five generations. The 62-year-old is the president and CEO of McKissack & McKissack, the Washington, D.C.-based #construction management and #design firm behind some of today’s most recognizable buildings — from building the #Smithsonian African American Museum of History and Culture to repairing the Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson memorials. The firm’s legacy dates back to her great-great grandfather Moses, a skilled brick maker who originally came to the U.S. as a slave in 1790.

32-year-old @CHESSE spends her days in a #Brooklyn warehouse operating her very own #cheesemongering business: C. Hesse Cheese. 🧀 Hesse says she’s not a traditional #cheesemonger because she doesn’t have a brick-and-mortar #cheese shop. Instead she calls herself a “wholesale” cheesemonger, and delivers to clients including restaurants, shops and catering companies via her shipping partners. Her young #business is not yet profitable, but it brought in roughly $400,000 in revenue in 2023. Tap the #linkinbio to learn how she got C. Hesse Cheese off the ground. #CNBCMakeIt #smallbusiness
