This girl graduated from Clemson University (South Carolina) at the age of 26, then moved to Boston in the hope of finding work to support herself, but in all the jobs she applied for, the answer was "You are not fit."

Writer Corey Steig says - in a report published by "CNBC" - that Ms. Colette DeVito's story is inspiring, as within 5 years she was able to establish a biscuit production company whose profits have reached $ 1.2 million so far.

"I was ready to take responsibility for myself, but I had great difficulty finding work," says Colette DeVito - who is 31 years old now - in an interview with the American station "CNBC".

Colette DeVito - who was born with a genetic defect called Down syndrome - comes from a family with many entrepreneurs, and she was very ambitious and decided to turn her hobby into a source of income.

At first, she had difficulty launching this project, but her mother, Rosemary Alfredo, decided to teach her the basics of managing small projects.

Today, Colettey DeVito runs her own company, Colettey's Cookies, a fast-growing startup that sells cookies online, in 7 stores, and in one of Boston's largest parks.

The company has so far generated $1.2 million in profits since its launch in December 2016.

This company employs 15 employees, most of whom have disabilities, and Colette DeVito confirms that she deliberately hired these people, to help them enter the labor market, because she knows very well the difficulties faced by those born with disabilities in the United States.

Also, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed that during 2020, only 17.9% of people with special needs were able to find a job.

DeVito devotes part of her effort and time to providing face-to-face training for new employees with disabilities, in order to help them integrate and do their work in the best way, and she considers this role to be a noble task that she must continue to do.

The author points out that entrepreneurship and innovation runs in the veins of the DeVito family, as her grandfather owned a company for decorations and landscaping, and her mother and aunts also own their own projects, and therefore she inherited from them stubbornness, independence and the ability to make important decisions, which are the qualities that a person must possess. To succeed in the business world.

Her mother set about teaching her business management by explaining the logistical and legal aspects of registering a company, designing a logo and creating a website.

Then Colette DeVito began preparing the biscuits that she had loved to make since she was four years old, and she delivered samples of them in various flavors to a store in Boston known for selling this type of product.

And because she was preparing a very tasty chocolate and cinnamon biscuit, the owner of this shop decided to supply a large amount of her products.

At first, DeVito was confused and worried that she would not be able to supply large amounts of flour and other ingredients, but with time she became confident and experienced.

After that, this lady got an outlet for sale in another shopping center, and her production increased.

Today, Coltie's Cookies is prominent on social media, with more than 40,000 followers on Facebook and 28,000 on Instagram.

According to the company's website, the chocolate-and-cinnamon chip cookies, called "the amazing biscuits," are the company's most popular products.
