19-year-old turns lunch money into boutique business

At just 19 years old, Dashia Moxey has already carved out a remarkable path as a multifaceted entrepreneur, balancing her growing clothing boutique, multiple side businesses, and law studies. Her journey began in high school, where she saved her lunch money to fund her first venture—a skincare line. This initial step laid the foundation for her entrepreneurial spirit, which later expanded to include locs hairstyling, candied fruit sales, and eventually the opening of Astra Boutique in February 2024, just months after graduating from Temple Christian High School.
