At 12, most of us were scrounging for change in the couch to buy candy at the corner store. Julietta Solano’s 12 and is the CEO of her own business, Clovercity Soapworks.
When she was 10 she collected a bunch of those gift soaps that you get from hotels. Then she melted them down to make her own. At first, they looked a little strange and didn’t set well. But after plenty of chemistry experiments, she uncovered the perfect formula.
Today, Julietta makes soap five days a week to keep up with orders. When she’s back in school she’ll work on the weekends – which includes making the soap, selling it at the local farmer’s market and going door to door creating wholesale orders with local shops.
On top of an already insane schedule, she’s taking AP science classes because she hopes to study biology at Stanford.
Big ups to Julietta the entrepreneur, and everyone in Cloverdale sharing in the inspiration. We believe in you.
