For Cunningham opening her own small business is a dream come true. She pursued business in school and was awarded a scholarship to help her fulfill her dreams.

"I always dreamed of opening a storefront and I've always aspired to be a small business owner. This is truly a moment where I never stopped pursuing my dream," said Cunningham. "I don't think I've been so happy in my life. This is absolutely an incredible opportunity and I am so blessed."
