At age 7, she took the training wheels off her bike.
And by age 10, Leanna Archer became the owner and CEO of her own company.
The young business-woman was recently featured in the March 2008 issue of Ebony magazine and the June 14th ABC feature ‘Above and Beyond.’
Not only is Leanna ahead of her years, she’s driven by a compassionate spirit. How is the CEO of a hair care company at her core a public servant? Only one way to find out …

I first found out about Leanna on news12, and immediately I ordered her products. I am very impressed with her ability at such a young age. I wish Leanna and her family much success. You have gained a customer.

Ras_Yuhanna:
she was not on Oprah, but there's been a lot of television media coverage on her story around her town in Central Islip, New York (about an hour away from the city) ... her products have also been featured in hair magazines, and she actually does motivational speaking in her spare time. quite the dynamo!
i actually found out about her from one of those "Can you believe it?" articles in my local newspaper in Maryland, and went up to New York to do the story last month.
so no Oprah, but she's definitely a hometown hero. :-)

Great story. Good production. I enjoyed the music trax. On a side note, she looks much older then 12, maybe business is causing her to mature faster not just mentally, but physically as well, lol.

The truly amazing part is that the parents listened to the idea of a child. Most parents have difficultly accepting their kids are knowledgeable even when they are grown adults!
