Hannah Grace was only 11 years old when she decided to found her company called BeYOUtiful. BeYOUtiful is a company that sells handmade bath bombs and beauty products. Hannah was inspired by this idea when she was on her way to her favorite beauty store when her father challenged her to create her own beauty brand. That very day, Hannah returned home and started doing research on creating her own beauty products. By the end of the day, 11 year old Hannah had already made her first bath bomb. Within weeks, her products were being sold at local markets, and as of today, her products are being sold online and in 8 retail stores across two states. At only 15 years old, Hannah has accomplished more than many people do by the time they are adults.
Hannah’s story begins at an even younger age. When she was an infant, her parents found themselves in a panic as they were rushing their newborn baby to the hospital. Once Hannah arrived at the hospital, the prognosis was grim, they believed that she would not survive the night. However, even at such a young age, Hannah fought for her life and eventually overcame her struggle. She was diagnosed with type I diabetes and uses her company to advance the medical study into the disease. Hannah has committed to donating 20% of all profits made by BeYOUtiful to JDRF, a foundation that advances the research into type I diabetes.
Hannah should be an inspiration to the rest of us. She has already overcome many struggles at such a young age, but she didn’t allow those struggles to hold her down. She utilized her struggles and was able to create a successful beauty company that is committed to do good in the world. She has also proven that entrepreneurship is not only a playground for adults, it is a creative outlet that any person can utilize.
This post really hit home for me! My sister is a type 1 diabetic and I am so grateful for Hannah and her contributions to JDRF. It is crazy to think that this young girl is doing so much to benefit others with type 1, including my sister. It’s crazy to think that at only 15 years old, Hannah has accomplished more than many people do by the time they are adults. She has proved that entrepreneurship is most definitely not only a playgroup for adults, it IS in fact a creative outlet that any person can utilize. Great post!
