À propos de cette page
« Sixteen and self-employed » — extract from a British newspaper for teenagers.
Every Saturday morning, while her friends are still asleep, Keira Boateng, 16, opens her small shop in Leicester market. She sells earrings and bracelets that she makes at home with recycled materials: old buttons, bottle tops and pieces of glass found on the beach.
Keira started two years ago, after a summer holiday in Ghana, where her grandmother taught her to make jewellery. « At first, I only made presents for my friends, » she explains. « Then a teacher asked me to sell them at the school fair, and I earned £120 in one afternoon. » Since then, she has sold more than 900 pieces, mostly online.
Her parents were worried about her school results, so they made a deal: Keira can run her business only if she keeps her grades. « It actually helped me, » she laughs. « I'm much more organised now. »
Next year, she is going to study business at college. Her dream? A real shop in the city centre, with a workshop where teenagers can learn to recycle. « The sea gave me my first materials, » she says. « I'd like to give something back. »
