At just 11 years of age, Hannah Grace began her life as a very sickly individual. After a rush to the ER, she sadly was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Despite this major setback, Hannah held her head high. With her family behind her, there was nothing this girl was incapable of.
Hannah’s entrepreneurial journey began when her family was en route to her favorite health and beauty store. During this drive, her father presenter her with a unique challenge that later would alter the course of her entire life. He bet that she could make the same products she bought in the store as well as sell them herself. Not one to step down from a challenge, Hannah gladly accepted. Soon, she had a recreation and development workshop set up for the production of quality bath bombs she could sell and distribute. Within a few weeks of going public, her bath bombs were being sold in a local gift shop. Later, her products were sold online and in retail outlets .
Since the creation of her company, she has donated over $5000 to various charities, and has committed to donate 20% of all web sales to JDRF, a nonprofit made up of 501 organization that fund type 1 diabetes research.
Hannah named her brand BeYOUtiful because she believes that the objective definition of beauty lies in being true to yourself and not buying in to what others tell you. She also believes it means taking on all challenges head on regardless of how difficult they seem at first.

Aw that’s such a sweet idea! It’s always wonderful to see young entrepreneurs born from a negative experience, but turning that into something positive and encouraging. I love the addition of donating some of her profits to charities and non-profits that support Diabetes research. Great post!
