5 Mini-Moguls To Inspire Your Kids
Chental-Song Bembry
This 15-year-old from Monmouth Junction, New Jersey has shown that artists and advocates can become successful entrepreneurs. The writer and illustrator created The Honey Bunch Kids, a children’s book series that tells the tale of a group of African-American middle school children who become friends after missing their bus and walking to school together in the rain. Bembry is currently finishing her third book in the series. A passionate advocate for literacy, Bembry spends much of her time at libraries and schools promoting reading. In 2011, Bembry became the youngest entrepreneur to become a part of 100 Urban Entrepreneurs, a prestigious nonprofit that offers mentoring and $10,000 in startup grants to promising young businesspeople.
