6 black kid entrepreneurs who have created incredibly successful businesses

It is thrilling to have black people owning well-to-do businesses across the world despite the unfair political attacks they tend to face in many jurisdictions.

These successes were chalked even in the face of hurdles such as access to capital to fund and operate the business due to years of racial and economic discrimination.

It is now even more amazing to note that black children, some as young as four, are also setting up their own businesses.
