Zandra Cunningham is a 17 year old entrepreneur from Buffalo, NY. Zandra’s fascination with entrepreneurship began when she was 9 years old; inspired by a simple “no” from her dad. She joined the Kids Biz Small Business Development Center program at Buffalo State College Just shy of her 10th birthday.

Zandra is the youngest to graduate from the all adult class of the Minority and Women Entrepreneurial Program at the University At Buffalo, a graduate of Lucky Break University and member of the National Association of Women Business Owners, she teaches classes on entrepreneurship, advising youth and adults on how they too can get started early building their dreams.

As a TEDx speaker, Zandra is becoming a recognized entrepreneur due to her work in the Buffalo community and beyond. She has been featured on several news outlets such as Black Enterprise, NPR, Seventeen Magazine, Girls Life Magazine, INC, USA TODAY, Nickelodeon, The TODAY Show, The Harry Connick Jr. Show and ABC Nightline in addition to facilitating many workshops/presentations for well know organizations like BALLE, Canisius College, Girls Scouts USA, Boys and Girls Club and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to name a few.

Zandra started her creative journey mixing up lip balm in her home kitchen, today she has a GMP compliant production and distribution facility. All products are handmade in small batches to maintain integrity and quality. As an eco-friendly small business in Western New York, Zandra is committed to sustainable practices with a priority on how gentle and sensitive teen skin can be. The mission is to create high quality, fun + fresh products that smell amazing but don’t have all the unnecessary yucky stuff + chemicals.

Zandra,who has been named the 2017 Small Business Administration Young Entrepreneur of the Year, is the youngest to ever win an Etsy Open Call Golden Purchase order. As a trained maker and proud member of the Indie Business Network and Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild, she facilitates workshops on natural product creation and formulation.

Zandra has built a brand that gives back, it is about confidence and beauty; she believes that young ladies should be confident in their own skin and learn what beauty is from the inside out. Her hope is to inspire youth to take action and make things happen for themselves and their communities. Zandra is an agent of change, donating up to 10 % of all net profits to support girls education.

Zandra is the proud Junior Ambassador of The Women in the Spotlight Goinglobal movement, a member of the Independent Youth Network and a Hatchpad Advisor. She founded Day of the Girls Buffalo, an international movement. This girl-powered all expenses paid day for girls has one goal: to connect girls with their community, provide educational options and ideas, while empowering them to discover their potential and find their best path to personal and professional success.

Zandra has just recently launched her newest initiatives, Young Mogul Prep School, and The Zandra “tlc”Foundation. One provides coaching to young people on the basics of business, business start-up and how to launch like a pro. The other works to provide entrepreneurial education, experiences, mentorship along with networking opportunities and access to programming that will enhance the lives of young people so they can become change makers within their families and community.
