Kylie Sandberg's Video Interview with Emily Harpel

"On January 22nd I had the pleasure of meeting Emily Harpel. She is known for her amazing cotton candy spinning skills as she is the owner of Art Of Sucre. She is also known as the “CEO of cotton candy” on TikTok. Emily has over 1.1 million followers on TikTok. I have watched Emily on her TikTok and other forms of social media for the past 6 months and she is the very reason I decided to save up all my money and purchase my very own cotton candy machine.
With this cotton candy machine I was able to finally reach my goal of raising $10,000 for my High School’s Relay For Life team! This opportunity was incredible because being a part of Inspiring Teens magazine means that I inspire others, but being able to share who inspires me is exactly what this magazine is all about. We are about working hard, building each other up, giving back, and ultimately inspiring others. I want to thank Emily for making this opportunity happen!"

Mackenzie Sydow - New Mexico
Interview & Editing by Olivia Bush
Nomination by Brandy Bennet
Photography by Milton Lau Photography
Issue 37 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

​The nomination: Mackenzie was just like any other person you knew at school or had a few classes with, and then one day she woke up to her life completely flipped around. She had to take on responsibility that a lot of other teens could not handle. And she proved to everyone that she could do it. With all she has dealt with in her life, she is still the humblest person I know. She always helps others even if she does not know then at all. She would give her last bit she had to help out someone in need. She has a huge heart.

Nomination by April Mescher
Photography by Eighth Lane Photography
​Issue 37 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

​Ryann Mescher was at the grocery store and saw the lady in front of her unable to pay for both food and menstrual products that week. This experience weighed on her, and she decided to do something about it because no one should have to choose between eating and having period supplies. Ryann started Femme Aid Collaborative to end period poverty in her community. She has raised over $50K and purchased, collected, and distributed over 650,000-period pieces to 18 local nonprofits in less than two years. Her goal is to end period poverty and period stigma in her community.
