Born for Business

BORN FOR BUSINESS is the latest 10-part series to further Shopify’s goal to highlight and celebrate underrepresented entrepreneurs, and create a broader and more inclusive definition of entrepreneur, by showcasing more stories and more triumphs – including the stories and triumphs of those with disabilities. The show highlights the ups and downs of running a business, following the stories of four entrepreneurs. Qiana Allen of Culture’s Closet is a fashionista with lupus who opened a plus-sized boutique, which quickly became one of America’s top plus-size clothing stores. Collette Divitto of Collettey’s Cookies is a baker with Down syndrome who owns a successful cookie brand that employs people with disabilities. Chris Triebes of The Congregation Presents is a single father with spinal muscular atrophy (type III), who is making waves in the music industry with his concert production company, two venues, and music festival ticket service; and Lexi Zanghi of Always Reason is a millennial entrepreneur with anxiety who runs a three-year-old fashion brand that will soon expand to its first physical location.
