10-year-old Saint Lucian entrepreneur elevates cheesecake venture 'That Girlz' in two years

A 10-year-old entrepreneur from Saint Lucia, Kayode Charles Fontenelle, is successfully running a cheesecake enterprise named 'That Girlz'. Kayode has been on the road with his "homemade" cheesecake treats for just about two years now, quickly outdoing his mother's expectations of him simply serving as an Assistant.

At present, the young boy is the full-fledged Salesman of an enterprise that boasts some twenty flavours of cheesecakes.

According to his mother, his plan is to eventually take control of the business, ensuring that its full potential is maximized. She pointed out that all profits from the sale of cheesecakes go towards the young boy's savings and education.

Kayode's mother runs a local bakery and fast food outlet in the southern town of Vieux Fort. She encourages him to re-invest in the cheesecakes business.

Young Kayode has been able to do a fantastic job at managing his priority of school work and his Cheese Cakes enterprise. He is also an A student who always stands among the top 3 in his class at Plain View Combined School in Vieux Fort.

While explaining the unique name behind the cheesecake business, his mother explained during her earlier sales hustles in the town of Vieux Fort; she was repeatedly referred to as "Dat Girl" as she was not from the southern town. The decision was made to adapt a modification to the name of the cheesecake small business.As the young entrepreneur was seen selling his That Girlz cheesecakes on the streets of Saint Lucia, citizens and residents expressed their best wishes to him.[caption id="attachment_69718" align="aligncenter" width="100%"] Kayode Charles Fontenelle selling cheesecakes in Vieuz Fort (PC - Facebook)[/caption]

"Meanwhile young men more than twice his age just shooting each other down there. What an example," wrote a user named Neville George while another user said, "I always support him and the cheese cake is lovely. May god continue to shower you with his blessings and the sky is the limit."
