I am so excited. I am now 13-years- old with a beauty line with 42 products including seasonal limited editions. My mom got me a website for my one year business anniversary and I even

sell my products wholesale now. My products are sold in two different stores in two different states.

Also I have a permanent vendor space at the local farmer’s market near myhome in South Carolina and I sell my products at numerous local craft shows and festivals. My business has been featured in several online articles, as well as in numerous blogs. My products are also in a monthly subscription box full of luxury items made by several fabulous makers and creators. I make special order products/favors for weddings, anniversaries and baby showers, as well as other special events.

My goal is to be on the shelves of many more stores, 10 by the end of 2018. I am in the process of making that dream come true through contacting stores and boutiques throughout the

nation with my postcard campaign. Another goal of mine is to give back to my community. I want to make the day I was legally adopted, April 26 , “Jammy Girl” Day on which I will visit foster care children to teach them about self-care, how to make products, give them bath and beauty products and talk to them about how if I can succeed despite my issues then they can, too!

We are currently working toward creating this program with our local foster care system. I donate a percentage of my

net profits to an organization that is very special to me called Family Builders by Adoption in Oakland, CA. I want to inspire others. I want all to know it doesn't matter how you start off in life, you can be whoever or whatever you want to be. I was CHOSEN and now I CHOOSE to be GREAT! CHOOSE to be GREAT, TOO. I LOVE what I do. LOVE what you do, too. I have found JOY in turning what I like to do into a business. Find what brings you JOY. Strive to reach your goals, no matter what, no matter the obstacles! Join me on the ride to GREATNESS. Crush life’s obstacles like I am CRUSHING mine.
