I donβt totally remember what I was doing at twelve, but I can FOR SURE tell you I wasnβt running my own successful business. Meet Grace. A pre-teen entrepreneur who is getting after her dreams. When I met Grace, she was shopping in Homebody with her mom. I wouldβve never guessed she was 12. With the way she carried herself, her eye for home decor, and her personable skills, she was wise beyond her years. I learned that Grace has been building her business for three years (yup, thatβs right, she started at 9!) and has already made massive moves towards her financial and business goals. After seeing her work and learning her story, it was a no brainer that...
It was my birthday weekend and we were poking around shops in downtown Savannah. I spotted this beautiful bag, but trying to behave, I put it back. Thank goodness Cody was paying attention, because he somehow snuck back and bought it, and it was under our Christmas tree a few weeks later. Hereβs what caught my eye that day. - The bags are handcrafted in Bangladesh by hundreds of mothers who receive Fair Trade-certified wages, annual profit dividends, and a retirement fund. Β βThey are a Certified B Corporation, meaning they have met higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.Β βThe bags are lined, making them spill resistant βThey are strong, able to hold over 100 pounds...

The earliest birthday gift I can remember receiving was a paper white growing kit from my Aunt Holly. I didnβt really know what it was, but my mom helped me plant the bulbs, explaining to me that beautiful white flowers would eventually bloom. I remember having a very hard time believing her. But sure enough, tiny sprouts started poking through! Each morning was spent racing down to that little pot, experiencing the little overnight miracle that took place. I thought it was amazing that you could grow flowers inside in the middle of the winter. It was THAT little kit which sparked my interest in flowers and gardening (thank you Aunt Holly!). The following summer, my Mom took me outside...
Many donβt know this, but on my journey to becoming an entrepreneur, the biggest tug on my heart was to find a way to help other people GIVE. Now, that may sound like a strange tug, but hear me out.
