If you don't know about Courtney Adeleye and her boss status, than you've been sleeping on a real one! As a black, female CEO, Courtney has made serious moves in the Black beauty industry and her little one is following suit. According to BLACK ENTERPRISE, Lily's hair accessories brand being stocked on the shelves of Target stores makes her the youngest CEO (or Cutest Executive Officer) in history to land a product in the retailer. Boss tings!

Lily Frilly is a brand that sells hair bows, backpacks and lunch boxes. They even host events for what they like to call little bosses in training a.k.a little bits filled with glitz, glitter and girl power!

When asked about her daughter's knack for entrepreneurship, Courtney told the BLACK ENTERPRISE, “From the time Lily was 3, I knew then she had a business mindset. At an early age, as she watched me build a successful business from the ground up, it exposed her to many possibilities and goals, so with that, we didn’t wait until she was an adult to help her pursue them.”

Bosses raising bosses! We love to see it!
