Turning a life around

With a chaotic childhood and a difficult home life, 20-year-old Kendall Gregory isn't the most likely businesswoman.

By 13 she was using alcohol and drugs and lost two friends – one to an overdose, the other to a brutal stabbing.

She dropped out of school at 16 and at 18 found out she was pregnant. This gave her the impetus to change her life. Focusing on giving her unborn child the best start, Kendall planned to go to college.
