Mini WOW Entrepreneur, San Francisco

When I met Isadora, she inquired if I would like a home-made scrub. I saw her skillfully laying out the ingredients and discussing their properties. She was very serious and determined to be a business woman when she grows up. Her mother Jamie Mamikunian is also featured in WOW Woman, who most certainly inspired her own kids to succeed and be independent young women. Isadora I met is pretty much shining through these answers.
