Laura Green has always had a passion for fashion.

The 28-year-old with Down syndrome also has an eye for business. Now, she’s found a way to combine her interests — she started her own business selling fashion accessories.

Green, who lives in Cheshire, England, completed some college focusing on business and retail, but had to leave early because she was bullied, she explains in the video produced by The BBC below. After spending some time looking for jobs to no avail, she decided she’d had enough. That’s when she went on to pave her own way in the fashion world.

“I would say it’s very successful,” Green, who describes her style as “glitz and glam,” says in the video below. “I would say I’m living the dream.”
