Not only are her period panties leakproof, and able to last from 6-12 hours but they are made with a 100 percent cotton crotch. And that’s not even the best part !! They also conveniently come with an on-the-go heating pad. Aaliyah stated the idea came to her one day while sitting on the couch in pain from cramps dreading the store outing with her mother.
FEMI Magazine: First, let me say Congratulations on your success and how proud of you we are at Femi Magazine !! Now, In your words how has your life changed since you founded Awesomeli You?
AC: Thank you so much!! Well, my life changed for the better. I’m no longer staining my clothes or bed. I got to travel for free, guest speaking, features, it’s amazing. I’m grateful for all the opportunities. Here I am just thinking I was selling leakproof period panties to help other girls that are going through the same thing I was going through.
FM: How did you come up with the name Awesomeli You?
AC: My mom always said I was awesome and she calls me Lili (when she’s not mad at me lol) so I combined the word awesome with li and you is for you because you too are awesome 🙂
FM: Share with us a little bit about a day in your life as a child entrepreneur.
AC: Lol, I am a typical teenager who enjoys a day of relaxing in her room scrolling on social media. However, my day would consist of me doing my HW and then eating dinner. I would work on my social media content with my mom, and process orders, and on the weekend we order food and have a family movie night or I stay up and talk to my mom or be in my room scrolling.
FM: Are you working on anything else? Do you have any ideas you can share with us?
AC: At the moment I’m not, we just launched this product so I’m just focusing on getting it and my business to the next level and marketing it, networking, and all that good stuff.
FM: Would you say that you are already what you want to be when you grow up?
AC: Not yet I’m on my way though. I started off as an actress. I want to go back to doing that, I enjoyed it sooo much.
FM: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
AC: God willing on the big screen working alongside Lin Manuel Miranda, and in college of course lol.
