Congratulations to Quinita Whitfield, founder of La La’s Lemonade, for winning the Harmony Hustle Pitch Competition! Her vision won her a $2,500 grant, coworking space at the Cloud Room, and—most importantly—a lifetime of support from the Peace Peloton family. We can’t wait to see where her journey leads next. Cheers to the future!
