An 8-year-old Bronx girl has launched her own clothing accessory business.
Miracle Robinson came up with the idea to start her business 'Styled by Miracle' two years ago when she was only six.
Robinson says she wanted to help the homeless and hungry in the Bronx.
She designed a line of fashion accessories with the intention of using sale profits for charity.
Just last week, Robinson launched her business and began selling hair bows, bags and other accessories.
She says she is working to give some of the money she makes to charitable organizations in the Bronx.
During the summer, Robinson says she wants to feed homeless people on the weekends when the pantries are closed.
