Anaya Quarles
Founder
A first-generation entrepreneur and college student from Brooklyn, NY. Raised in a packed household in East New York, Anaya was shaped by the diverse perspectives of the family and community around her. Influenced by experiences such as watching her grandfather open his first pizza shop in Flatbush, witnessing her single mother’s determination, and overcoming the challenges of growing up with an incarcerated father, Anaya developed a strong foundation of resilience and ambition. Looking ahead, Anaya aspires to inspire and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs. She plans to open clothing stores worldwide and establish a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping youth with the knowledge, mentorship, and resources needed to succeed in entrepreneurship and lead future innovation.
