Young Detroit entrepreneurs are the talk of Detroit’s renaissance, but some are right at Renaissance High School.
“Having my own business, managing school, and having a job helped me become way more organized, and more motivated to complete everything,” said RHS junior Aaniya Carol.
Carol runs a clothing line known as Amor Couture.
“I wanted to bring a new style to the table and make women of all sizes feel comfortable and beautiful in their own skin,” Carol said.
Sophomore Tyrese Anderson also runs a clothing line, called Detroit Imprint.
“I’ve always wanted to do something that would make me stand out and allow people to know
who I am, so I figured I’d start a trend,” Anderson said.
These students manage school work and business.
“I manage by deleting social media, and manage what time I do my homework,” Carol said.
Harmoni O’Neal, a sophomore, said she prioritizes grades over her hair stylist business, Charmed by Harm.
“I make sure that my homework and studying is done before I put any effort into my business,” Anderson said.
There are other RHS entrepreneurs, and these three set an example of ones who balance work and school.
