I've known that I wanted to be an entrepreneur of some sort since I was little, maybe about 6th grade. I used to have a jacket where I stored candy and gum and would sell it to the kids at school. When I got older and drove as a delivery driver (Lyft/ Uber/ Cannabis/ Pizza), I would sell snacks and drinks in the car. Now I'm the owner of Hakuna Matata Vibes - a wildlife-themed social impact gift shop to be placed in my future eco-lodges worldwide. Who would have thought? The circumstances I would say, are direct control of the outcomes of my life, flexibility, and care for the world.

Shafia, I launched my first business in 8th grade (also selling candy to my classmates). Congratulations on following your purpose. And thanks for commenting on my post.
