A ROUND OF APPLAUSE MAGAZINE A YOUTH MAGAZINE Making a Change ENTREPRENEUR THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE FOR YOUTH In 2018,Mia faced a lot of challenges. She faced problems with her parents, herself and she lost someone close to her to cancer. During this time, she says her outlook on life was very negative. She became very unmotivated with the business and a lot of projects at the time were not beingfulfilled. At the end of 2018, she wanted to make change. So, in December, she decided to reboot her com- pany with new people and a new purpose. The goal of the business is to showcase talent in Baton Rouge. There is so much talent in her hometown but very little support and not as many opportunities. She wants her business to give people chances and help artists her age figure out what they want to do and become confident in the field of entertainment and media. She wants youth to know that they can do anything they put their mind to. Despite what anyone thinks, you can and will succeed. If you truly believe that something is meant for you then go after it. There will be people that you don’t know and people that are close to you that will try to stop you from doing what you want. But, as long as you believe in yourself, you will always make it.
