“Being a Young Womanpreneur”

By: Aubree Gordon

My name is Aubree Gordon, and I am a young womanpreneur. What does this mean to me? Being a young womanpreneur means pushing through business boundaries I see as a woman. Whether this is creating my own business opportunities, or working with people to fully accomplish your dreams. This has been my goal ever since i was a little girl. Let me tell you a bit of my story.

I have been a creative throughout my entire life. From the time I could write I was always coming up with new ideas and projects to put together. I started with fashion design and sewing.  I sewed my first dress when I was 7 years old. I soon found my love for food through watching food network 24/7. After cooking for a couple of years one day I decided to get in the kitchen and bake some cupcakes. From then at the age of 11 I began selling custom cakes and cupcakes through my business, Aubree’s Cakery Bakery. From baby showers, birthday parties and even weddings I would make customized dessert tables, cakes, whatever the client wanted I pushed myself to adapt and put my very best foot forward. A couple years later when I was 14 I decided I wanted to share my love of baking with others. My YouTube is also called Aubree’s Cakery Bakery and my focus is showing kids the fun of baking and that you are never too young to truly follow your dreams. I realized that I no longer wanted to limit myself by just focusing on baking and that it really is possible to do it all!  This is when I enrolled in my current high school, Riverside Virtual school (an alternative learning college prep environment), I joined the international business program. This was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made. Through this program I have become certified in Financial literacy, Customer service, Export trade assistance, and Have been awarded in public speaking. Now being in the 3rd year if this 4 year program I have completed 5 mock interviews and will complete 8 by the end of senior year. I have been prepared to be successful in corporate America and hopefully have a successful business of my own. After studying business in college I will run my own business wear I can teach kids and teens to thrive in all of mine and their passions. These would be baking/ culinary, fashion design, makeup/ sfx makeup, and now actually poetry! I actually recently found a passion for poetry and wrote a poem titled “what if we all just were” . This was chosen to be displayed in my schools campus newsletter. As you can see I find so much strength in being able to express myself through many creative ways!

I am so thrilled to have this platform to create  and truly share my life in being a womanpreneur at age 17. I no longer find the need to limit who i amd, or my abilities to make people around me more comfortable. I am young, strong, talented, and special in my own very unique ways. Thank you to the My Warrior Wonder Life community for giving me the space to share with others. Sharing that they are never too young, too old, too anything to accomplish anything!
