Local entrepreneur Kewaan Drayton, named the 2022 Entrepreneur of the Year by the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce, has recently accomplished another impressive feat in the business community by becoming a 2024 Truist Foundation Fellow. Powered by the Watson Institute, the Truist Foundation Fellowship is a fully funded 16-week program designed for emerging entrepreneurs, business owners and nonprofit founders in Georgia. More than 220 hopefuls applied to this year’s Truist Foundation Fellowship, and Drayton landed one of the 18 slots in this year’s cohort, being one of just two fellows from Savannah. He’d learned of the opportunity after seeing an ad for it online.
