Alejandro Buxton had the "most amazing experience" of his life during a recent segment on 'The Drew Barrymore Show.'
The 13-year-old CEO and founder of 'Smell of Love Candles' was invited for Black Entrepreneurs Day, created by FUBU founder Daymond John in 2020 to promote Black-owned businesses.
Buxton was inspired to start his business due to his mother’s love of candles and the desire to find a solution that would be less triggering for her headaches and his asthma.
The young entrepreneur's story led to him getting an invite to the live event, receiving a $10,000 check for his business, and getting advice from Daymond himself.
“Daymond gave me really good advice and I’m really grateful to Drew and her staff for everything they gave me on the show.”
