One 11 year old girl has more experience in the cut throat world of business than many of us adults will garner in a lifetime. Ms. Asia Newson from Detroit, U.S.A., runs and owns her very own company where she makes and sells a unique selection of candles.

Her enterprise, Super Business Girl, was kicked started when this young entrepreneur was only five years old. With the help of her family, she perfected the art of candle making and has already evoked international attention and awareness to her cause.
Not only is this little pint-sized business guru successfully running her own business, but she is quite the philanthropist as well, advocating for the right to quality education and opportunity for children everywhere.
“It is my mission to recognize the true potential in every child and to develop intrinsic security that makes optimum use of their individualized talent,” reads a statement from Newson's website.
This young visionary donates all of the profits accumulated from her candle making business to less fortunate children in her community.

At only 11 years old, Newson has big dreams—she plans to finish middle school and eventually go on to attend Michigan State University to continue her business and philanthropic ventures.
Newson travels around the States, conducting motivational seminars and promoting her candle business.
