Keiana Cave is a young entrepreneur, aged 18 years old, who has her mind set on creating the first non hormonal birth control in the United States. Her company, Sublima Pharmaceuticals, leads the research for this birth control. The goal of the non hormonal birth control is to eliminate all the nasty side effects that come with normal birth control. It is also to give women more control over their bodies.
Cave’s story started when in 2014, she was awarded $10,000 during New Orleans Entrepreneur week. Her research was conducted on the BP Gulf oil spill. Keiana has built an impressive resume at such a young age. After raising 1.2 million dollars, she put all that money into her research at the University of Michigan, where she has earned a Bachelor’s degree. It will be exciting to see what Cave can accomplish in the future!

This is a great idea! And it’s great how many women’s lives Keiana will be positively affected as a result of her innovation.
Pharmaceuticals is an immensely difficult industry to break into, especially at such a young age. That’s amazing that she pulled that off!
