Mompreneur Strikes Gold With Green Drink

Weekend.Entrepreneur.com:

Kika Keith is very familiar with adversity and tough times. She prevailed in the face of being homeless with her two children in tow and a burning desire to create a sustainable future.

What is unique about your business that gives it an edge over your competitors?
