Newark, NJ, January 28, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Black Cotton Foundation announced today that 14-year-old entrepreneur Gabrielle Jordan will be the recipient of its Jasmina Anema Youth award later this spring. The Jasmina Anema Youth Award is given to an extraordinary young person that goes above and beyond to improve society's quality of life and community.
