When Bold Journey Magazine reached out to interview me, I took advantage of the opportunity to inspire other young change-makers. In this article, I shared the origin of Soaring Samaritans Youth Movement and SOAR Jewels. I provided advice to those who want to become community and business leaders at a young age and explained the importance of developing a growth mindset. Three pillars that have consistently led me to the path of success are openness, patience, and organization. Managing my non-profit with my extracurriculars has been a challenge I have had to overcome. While running a socially responsible jewelry business, I have had to become extremely organized when managing inventory, pricing, packaging, and attending boutiques.
Through Soaring Samaritans and SOAR Jewels, I have learned many valuable lessons on how to be a successful business owner at a young age. The lessons and hurdles I have been exposed to shape who I am today, and I am excited to have been given the platform to share them with you.
