Ciara has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. At the age of 10, she was selling pencils and erasers to the neighborhood kids out of her garage. 10 years later, she was a Division l athlete and full-time student at San Diego State University. During this time, she was determined to build a sustainable business from her college bedroom, so that when she graduated she would be able to support herself, her family and eventually hire other young women and men employees.

While the bedroom of an athlete was an unusual place to start, Ciara was determined to build an enterprise to address fashion, impact the environment and create jobs: All things that would make the world a better place for herself and future generations.
