She says: "Dreams are wild, but they're wild enough to come true."
The secret to Leanna's healthy hair is found in her great-grandmother's formula. That formula led to her business success as well. At age 9, Leanna obtained a business license and created Leanna's, Inc [8]., after fielding repeated requests for the homemade product. At 13, she became the youngest person to ring the New York Stock Exchange bell. Leanna has now expanded her all-natural lineup to include skin care, earning her a guest spot on The Wendy Williams Show.
Her interests go beyond beauty. A business trip to Haiti led her to create the Leanna Archer Foundation [9], which provides food and shelter to homeless children. With annual revenues in excess of $100,000, Leanna's company helps underwrite the foundation's mission. "If you can do something positive," she said, "then why not do it?"
