For India Davis-Wiley, running a successful business is a family endeavor. She helped launch and operate Nickel Berry Works; a family company focused on publishing works created by children. The early experience taught her life lessons like finding meaningful connections with others, how to network, and the importance of solid management skills. She built upon those lessons when she developed and launched the company’s signature candle line, A Touch of Scented Love.

“I don’t believe you’re ever too young to make a difference,” said India. “Shoot your shot because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

In addition to being a successful entrepreneur, India is intimately engaged in her community. She is involved with Jack and Jill of America, an organization of mothers with children ages 2-19 that is dedicated to nurturing future African American leaders. She is a member of the AZ Governor’s Youth Commission, National Honor Society, and is an ambassador for Phoenix Sister Cities Youth Ambassador Exchange Program and her school’s International Baccalaureate Program.

When she has free time, India pursues her deep love for aviation and Formula 1 racing! She flew her first plane, a Cessna 172, when she was just 11 years old and is working toward her private pilot’s license. After high school, she plans to study business with a focus in marketing.
