Meet Caliefah, an entrepreneur and a single mother of three young kids. Growing up in Compton, Caliefah began her business first out of necessity, fueled by her resourcefulness. She had been crafting things since she’d been a kid, and upon discovering that personal products like soap weren’t available through the food stamp program, she saw an opportunity to provide for her family. She grew a garden with vegetables and fruit to eat and ingredients for her products, and she taught her children the importance of using everything you have – a lesson that was passed on to her from her great grandparents. As her business grew, her community at Leimert Park became a pillar of support and motivation.
