Small business operator who hails from Brooklyn Carmen Ladipo, her interest in baking was evident from the age of seven. "I've always been a fan of sweets since I can remember," Carmen tells . "In my middle school days I attended a class that was very similar to Home Economics, where we learned how to bake cookies. After I had figured out my capacity to keep my hunger for sweets at my own rate, I was on an idea of what I wanted to do."

It wasn't until a few years later when Carmen started to make cash from her passion of baking. She started an online store selling small quantities of cookies venture on her own. "I'd had just moved to New York City, and tried to think of ways to be a good acquaintance in my later years" Carmen says. "I was part of the local gym for climbing and brought cookies to members as well as other climbers - actually, it was an effective method of making acquaintances." After having been "fervently inspiring" several times by her sweets, Carmen took advantage of the time she had in between jobs to register her own restaurant in Brooklyn.

"It started as an excuse to earn money to bake cakes for my local customers occasionally," Carmen jokes. "But over the course of five years Carmen's Cookies has evolved into an e-commerce website , which allows me to ship cookies across the nation for friends and strangers alike."

From the beginning it was evident that Carmen's Cookies was about much more than just selling cookies. "I think that those who own the food industry are accountable towards the natural environment as well as the communities they work with to be aware of the impacts they could have on their local communities," Carmen says.

"There are a myriad of resources used in the production and sale of food items that require careful consideration and attention so that they do minimal damage to the environment. That's why I take into consideration the source of my ingredients from and the way that producers think of their own personal environmental and social impact." Carmen has been transparent on her blog post about where she relies on to source the ingredients she uses. There is even an interactive option to find out where the baking chocolate she gets from.

Her commitment to her cause does not come to an end when she's at this point. "It's vital for me to figure out how I can help in the effort to secure food justice within the larger Brooklyn area," Carmen says.

"Every year, I select the one that is directly working with the local community in order to support economic development as well as sustainable food production. I contribute a percentage of sales to these organizations since I wish for Carmen's Cookies to make an impact on the community that it operates in."

"As to the Carmen's Cookies community," Carmen adds, "it's felt uplifting to watch the customers unite to support diverse causes over time. The ability to facilitate the donation of hundreds of dollars to diverse local and national groups that support marginalized or food justice-based communities with cookies is one of the highlights."
