I actually started a food and toy drive before I started my bow tie business. I was four, and I saw a commercial on TV where children were crying. My mom explained they didn't have enough food, so I started a food and toy drive.

When I was five, my dad was putting on a bow tie in his room and I was inspired by him. So, I went downstairs and I asked my mom,"can I start a bow tie business?" and she said yes.

I'm the CEO and Noah is the president. Noah helps with folding the bow ties by color and putting stickers on the bow ties, my mom helps with the management and the website and my dad helps by spreading the word about my business. We used to go to festivals to sell our bow ties and other products, but the COVID-19 pandemic has meant we can't do a pop up shop anymore, so at the moment we are just online. Our prices range from $10 to $18 for our fabric bow ties—the adult bowties are higher in price because they're bigger than children's products. All the other items vary in price, and we also sell a wooden bowtie, too.

We have drop off locations here in Atlanta where people can donate food, like canned goods, as well as toys. The non-profit United Food Force, Inc. helps me with my food and toy drive, they go and pick up the toys and food from locations where people have donated them, and give to people who have food insecurity.
