Black Teen Inventor of Gabby Bows Lands $1M in Scholarships and a New Book Deal

Gabby Goodwin invented GaBBY Bows, the first and only anti-slip double-face double-snap barrette at the age of seven with her mom, Rozalynn, and holds three U.S. patents. The now-teenage CEO and graduating senior has received merit scholarship offers totaling more than $1 million — including four full rides — from eight esteemed universities.

Gabby has also secured a book deal from HarperCollins, and her first authored children’s book, Naturally Me at the Confidence Salon, is now available for pre-order and set to release May 27 everywhere books are sold. Inspired by Gabby’s real-life Confidence Salon, this picture book inspires young readers to embrace their natural beauty, find their confidence, and follow their dreams.

“Confidence has always been important to me. I wouldn’t have been able to start my business at age seven or publish a book at seventeen without it,” says Goodwin. “I want girls like me to be able to see themselves in my book and find the confidence to follow their dreams just like I did.”

Featuring real-world wisdom, own voices representation, vibrant art by Princess Karibo, and an inspiring, heartfelt message, Naturally Me at the Confidence Salon provides girls with the tools needed to find their confidence and embrace their individuality. The book also teaches children about a variety of natural hairstyles and celebrates diversity and natural beauty alongside creativity and strength.

Gabby announced her college decision on Instagram.
