She takes entrepreneurs from vision to brick and mortar.
Since 2016 Tae has built the space, visibility and network that turn Dayton side hustles into storefronts, including Taco Street Co. and Chef Phillip Morgan’s Morgan’s Fine Cuisine.
Tae Winston started like many of the entrepreneurs she now champions. In 2016 she launched Fashion Remedy as a mobile fashion bus, selling clothing, sunglasses, purses and accessories and hosting fashion and food truck rallies across Dayton.
She saved, did her research and chose the Historic Wright Dunbar Business District. In December 2019 she opened The Entrepreneurs Marketplace, Dayton’s first permanent pop-up shop, and just months later, during the pandemic, The Entrepreneurs Shoppe, a brick-and-mortar home for more than 30 small brands. Today she leads the district as President of the Wright Dunbar Business District and operates Fashion Remedy Boutique on West Third Street.
Through Tae Winston Consulting she guides aspiring founders, and as co-founder of Young Mogul Academy she helps young people ages 13 to 21 become entrepreneurs. Her ventures also include District Market. Her mission is simple: build economic wealth for all families.
“Tae’s positive spirit and energy is exactly what Dayton needs right now.”
