Tamia Coleman-Hawkins has the best cookies on the block. Having been in business for over five years, this 13-year-old is not only a seasoned vet, but has been called by many, #TheOprahofCookies.Ā Mia’s Treats Delight are truly customized to meet her varied customers’ tastes. Along with a sweet winning smile, there is no doubt that Hawkins will eventually dominate the industry.Ā
āUsually itās just, āThese are the careers that you can do.ā And all of them are just jobs that are controlled by other people. Thatās never entrepreneurship,ā Hawkins told St. Louis Public Radio in an interview. āSo I say, āYouāre a kid. You can do it. Donāt wait if you donāt want to.āā
