Author...CEO...Motivational Speaker...Where does

(March 2008) When someone looks at Makya Stell, one would believe that she is just
another seven-year old girl. Little do they know that she is an author, motivational speaker
and CEO of her own company, Tink Tink Creations.
Starting nearly three years ago, she released her first book, Jazzy Little Five Year Old and
has been building her empire ever since. Known by her close family and friends as Tink-Tink,
Stell now has four books titles to her name and is taking the literary world by storm. Under the
guidance of her mother, author and businesswoman Crystal Stell, Makya has the skills and
the genius to become the next great.
Not only is the young entrepreneur brilliant but she is also very charitable. Whereas most
authors pocket their profits for themselves, Stell donates half (yes, 50%) of her profits to a
scholarship to aid college students in purchasing textbooks.
When her day does not involve attending class and maintaining her 4.0 GPA, she has her
extracurricular activities that fill her schedule. She is an active member of the Girl Scouts,
which she states she enjoys because she gets to travel to different places. Stell also enjoys
her second (more like third) day job as a motivational speaker, where she tells young people
to aim high and to believe in your dreams.
Although she is an intelligent and enterprising young woman, she still enjoys the finer things
in life for a child her age. When she’s not penning her next book or speaking for an audience,
she enjoys reading and playing video games. She
She relays advice for aspiring authors, young or old waiting to see their own work in print.
All you have to do is sit down, think of a subject and write about it.
So, what is next from Tink? She says she is vigorously at work on her next book, titled, Jump.
After speaking with her, I was astounded by her ability to articulate her thoughts and spoke of
one who was at least twice her age. I believe her mother said it best:
Tink is an old soul. Sometimes she makes me do a double take...
