Hello, everyone! Let's start our #thread on #child #entrepreneurs, both in #Malaysia and abroad.

We'll talk about the success stories as well as how to foster their development 😊 Let's go! Feel free to add on to the thread with your own opinion and sharing.
Latest in Malaysia is the story of Ferris. Ferris merupakan usahawan cilik yang terpengaruh secara positif dengan siri Upin dan Ipin! It's good to see how entrepreneurship in an animated series can piqued children and their interest in entrepreneurship!

If you ask if there are more of such stories in #Malaysia, there are!

11 y.o Elisa Ahmad Sayuti and her friends got inspired by both their participation in Kelab Usahawan Cilik as well as seeing their parents who are also #entrepreneurs!

Something I've wanted to do for a while is share some quotes from Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde so here they are in a thread. cop the book! Happy #WomensHistoryMonth
"[W]hen you find people who start from a position where human beings are at the core, as opposed to a position where profit is at the core, the solutions can be very different." - Audre Lorde
"[M]ost people--certainly most Black people-- are on a breadconcern level...If you conquer the bread problem, that gives you at least a chance to look around at the others." - Audre Lorde
