At age 6, Zoe Oli asked her mom a question: "Why isn't my hair straight and pretty like my classmates'? "I was really taken aback when she came to me with that," Zoe's mother, Evana, tells CNBC Make It. Evana, 42, bought Zoe a Black doll to play with, but the doll too had straight hair — so Zoe suggested creating dolls with curls, coils and braids. In 2022, Zoe's company brought in a low six-figures in revenue, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. "It's been really, really amazing."

It's the end of an era: the pioneering influencer agency Gleam Futures has sunset its talent-management arm, the company confirmed to Business Insider. Ad giant Dentsu Aegis acquired a majority stake in Gleam in 2017 and took over as sole owner in 2020. On the talent side, Gleam Futures had been undergoing changes for some time. In 2023, Gleam Futures managers slowly began an exodus toward other UK talent firms, including InterTalent, Insanity, and HLD, bringing their talent with them. The company's website went from showing a roster of over 60 talent in 2022 to just 20 in late 2023.

Taylor Yates, 27, felt drained and burned out from living in a city and being surrounded by people. In 2021, she and her boyfriend decided to move to live in a rural cottage in the woods. I'm a very sensitive person, and constantly being surrounded by so many people and activities sapped my energy and made me feel exhausted. I was drained living in a city, and I felt like I always had to be doing something or I was missing out. I'd rather have the life I have now, and the ability to visit the city when I want to.
