Meet the 11-Year-Old Selling 'Candles From The Hart' to Fund His Future HBCU Education

This 11-year-old is preparing for college the right way! Hart Wilson created Candles From The Hart from the ground-up after a trip to Howard University at the age of 6. It was then that the HBCU located in the heart of Washington, D.C. became his dream school, but he knew that saving money was a must to make his dream come true. Last year he executed a plan and began to raise money through his candle business. “I got on the internet and saw that people were making different things to sell and earn money, and I settled on candles,” Wilson told Because of Them We Can. “My parents and I watched YouTube videos and started experimenting with making candles, and we figured it all out, and that’s when it all started.
