She's 10 years old, and she's already the CEO of her very own cosmetics company

Whether it's babysitting or flipping burgers, most people's first jobs do not compare to what Paris Muhammad is up to. At just 10 years old, she is the CEO of her own makeup company called Paris Place LLC.

The fifth-grader from Georgia made history becoming the youngest ever member of the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce in Georgia last month.

"I started my business when I was seven years old," said Muhammad. "Me and my nana, we started selling air fresheners and body oils. And a year ago, we added lip gloss to my collection."

Her mother, Tenisha Odom, said she knew early on that her daughter had a passion for cosmetics.

"I would see little patches of makeup on her face, and I'm like 'Are you in my lipstick or in my makeup?'" said Odom. "And she would, you know, kind of give me the side eye, so I know she was doing something."

Her makeup is already being sold in beauty supply stores in three states — Arkansas, Georgia and Virginia — and can be shipped across the country. Muhammad said her products are for everyone.

1. Come off it

The nana is doing it and letting the granddaughter be the face of the company.
IMHO, this is just another example of a parent or grandparent pushing a child to fulfill the parent or grandparent's dream.
Let the kid be a kid and stop pushing the kid to be anything other than herself.

2. I assume

You know these people personally to "KNOW" what the real story is.

3. Poor article

Legally a minor cannot be the CEO of anything. Minors cannot sign contracts or register for interstate commerce.

This said, if the kid enjoys helping nana and is learning something good then pretty cool.

Stating a 7 yr old started a business is a bit much.
