Young Entrepreneurs

Imagine being 13 and already having your own business. One Buffalo area teen doesn't have to imagine: it's her reality! Zandra Azariah Cunningham started her business, Azariah's Innocence, at 10 years of age. Now she sells her skin-care products from her website and in two Buffalo area retail locations. Cunningham got her start after attending the Buffalo NY SBDC's KidBiz program, a day-long program which teaches entrepreneurial skills to third-sixth graders. Read more about the Buffalo SBDC's KidBiz program.
