A Message From Our Founder
Elleanor Jean Hendley
Founder and CEO, Teenshop, Inc.
When I founded Teenshop in 1985 while working as a CBS 3 TV Broadcast journalist, I wanted to use my platform to help ensure that girls of color would see and meet positive representations of themselves in diverse careers, and that this exposure would encourage them to dream big and without limitations.
