ABOUT
9-year-old twins create their own makeup company
Taraji and Tajere Cossey love to play like other 9-year-old girls. But these twins from Houston, Texas also work hard. The Cossey sisters started their own vegan makeup company during the pandemic, called Melanin Skholars. They mix all of the ingredients in their vegan lip gloss and lip scrub and have flavors like Unicorn Cupcake, Frozen Handstands, and Mango-tastic. Since starting the business, orders have come in from all over the country. The sisters work with their mom to mix the ingredients, fill packages, review sales orders, and ship out the products. If you would like to learn more about Melanin Skholars, visit www.melaninskholars.com or check them out on Instagram @melanintwinslearn.
