YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Business Incubator’s Women in Entrepreneurship Program has completed phase two of the WE Launch business accelerator program with one participant winning a $5,000 grant to launch her business.

Jazz’mine Harsch, of Jazz’mine Harsch Photography, plans to use the money to expand the company through marketing and her clothing closet she offers to her clients, according to YBI.
