Legit.ng learnt that the child prodigy is a kidpreneur today thanks to business lessons she learnt from her mum Courtney Adeleye right before she turned 6.

As early as age 3, Lily exhibited business savvy tendencies and her CEO mum, founder of the Black Haircare line, noticed this and helped brush her up to become what she is today.

Her mum said:

“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."
