Have you ever met a girl who runs a successful clothing business at the age of 17? We have. What if we told you she was once homeless? Yep, it's true. Meet Zoë Damacela--she's pretty amazing.
Zoë was featured on Seventeen's "Pretty Amazing" special, which aired on MTV last night. The show followed five young women as they traveled to New York to compete for the cover of Seventeen magazine. In the end, Zoë won!
It’s not just her fashion design skills that are amazing, but the story behind it. She started sewing at the age of 14 and hasn’t stopped since. As she got older she enrolled in business classes so she could create her own business plan. But what motivates Zoë is "the desire to create a better life for herself and her family."
On Twitter, she thanked Tyra Banks and gave us a sneak peek of the cover!
Not only does Zoë sell her designs from her dorm room, but she also donates her clothes to charity fashion shows and homeless shelters. Zoë proves that working hard pays off. Get inspired by her and start that project you've always wanted to do. Pursue you dreams and push the limits. Or just Do Something.
