What a cool story. I love how through complements she had the idea to make an old family recipe into her own profitable business that has some social ties to an important issue too. Best part is, she did all of this at such a young age. She is truly an inspiration. Great post!
9 years old?! That’s insane! I love how she took something simple like hair care and made it a huge business from an old family recipe. The fact that the success from her idea gave her the opportunity to help those in need is a factor in the story that makes it even better. Awesome find!
This is such an inspiring post. At 9 years old, Leanna Archer was able to see the potential in her family’s secret hair product recipe. It’s such a reminder to never view an idea as impossible – especially from young children.
