Serenity Jade Owner: Serenity, age 11 Product: Beaded bracelets
with messages of positivity Serenity will be in the seventh grade at Deer Creek Middle School this fall, a time in many kids’ lives when they are plagued by feelings of inadequacy and awkwardness. Not so for this confident, affirmative tween, who has built a business based on helping others see the best in themselves and the world around them. Spreading positivity, one bead a time, is Serenity’s mission, and mom Chasity says her daughter’s determination, thoughtfulness and sincerity in seeking to help those around her make her incredibly proud. Why has it been so important for you to focus your business on positivity? Serenity: I feel like there is too much hate and bullying, and people don’t understand how much it affects people. It’s not right, so I want to spread positivity. I’ve learned that being positive makes me feel better about myself, and I want to inspire others to be happy. I put my creativity and the power of positivity together, and Serenity Jade became a business. With negative self-talk so common among kids and adults alike, what advice do you have for other kids your age to think positively? Serenity: I’d tell them to think about how they were put on this earth for a reason. They were made the way God wanted them to be. Everyone has a purpose in life; they are unique and they don’t have to be like everyone else.
