COLUMBUS, Ohio—It's not every day that a seven-year-old starts their own business.

• She wanted to create a brand that would inspire and empower kids
• The brand puts a spotlight on underrepresented girls
• She plans to create new items for adults

But one young girl from central Ohio has done just that, in hopes of creating a conversation around diversity. 

As seven-year-old Kylie Scroggins settles into second grade at Darby Elementary School, she's also settling into her new business, Kylie Dreamz.

Scroggins and her mom launched the online clothing and accessory business a few weeks ago. She says her inspiration came after going to different clothing stores.

"When me and my mom go shopping, we don't see a lot of girls that look like me,” said Scroggins.

Her mom, Kortney Ester, says at a certain point, she knew her daughter was serious about starting the business.

"She continued to follow up with me about it...like, what about my business? What about my shirts with the little black girls? That made me know that she was paying attention and that she was to be represented," said Ester.

So, they decided to create a brand that would inspire and empower kids, using phrases like, "I'm kind. I'm smart. I'm funny."

Scroggins’ own artwork and interaction with Muslim friends at school helped to kick off the designs.

Now, the brand represents all little girls of color and cultures who are often underrepresented.

Her mom says, "The bottom line is being all-inclusive and love, loving everyone no matter how different they are."

Ester believes starting the business hasn't just impacted customers— it's changed the way her daughter interacts with others.

"On the first day of school, she came home and told me she has a new best friend. And that she's Muslim, and so I think already I'm noticing a change," said Ester.

While Scroggins is just in the beginning phases, her mom hopes that what she created will continue to encourage other little girls to dream big as they see themselves represented through the clothing line. 

While sales are going well, Ester says the most important thing was to create a conversation surrounding the underrepresentation of girls of color on items in clothing stores.

And now that they've started it, there are plans to create new items for adults.
