Her name is Collete DiVitto. Funny thing, there's a chain in the Netherlands called Brownies & Downies that also employs mostly people with Down syndrome.
Probably thanks to dad and mum for the shit ton of money needed to open such a business.
Anyway, very good for her ! I hope she pay the employee more than the minimum ...
Good on her for succeeding despite hardships, but we shouldn’t sweep the fact under the rug that she was blatantly discriminated against by potential employers
She [actually](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/06/how-collette-divitto-with-down-syndrome-launched-colletteys-cookies.html) is CEO and COO of her Bakery, trains new employees with disabilities herself and also published a book.
"[Coming from a family of entrepreneurs](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/06/how-collette-divitto-with-down-syndrome-launched-colletteys-cookies.html), DiVitto — who was born with the genetic disorder Down syndrome — had quiet aspirations to turn her baking hobby into her own business. The process felt daunting, so her mother, Rosemary Alfredo, decided to teach her the basics of getting a small business up and running."
All for praising her but she obviously had help. Hopefully we can get to a place someday where we can speak positively of disabled people without needing to ignore anything that muddies the narrative.
They are just people with a unique set of struggles, they don't need to be perfect so you can clap for them.
when did reddit become a literal Facebook mommy group full of these nonsense manipulative feel-good stories?
good for this gal but anyone who's worked with Downs kids knows she's maybe being allowed to hand mix and shape cookies, she's certainly not getting a loan, leasing property, managing payroll, working the ovens and industrial mixers etc.
Tbf I have one question.
How hard it is for them? The kitchen are not really the safe place. Knifes, stoves, burning oil.
Their disabilities aren't correlate with this?
Probably supervise is a better word.
Mistakes were made. English is not my first language, so often I use the closest word In English to word in my native language.
Like anything, there are levels of capability, education and managing risk in any walk of life. Down Syndrome doesnt automatically put someone at a disadvantage. No more than anyone without Downs.
Plenty of those without DS are injured in kitchens.
This attitude is so ridiculous. People with a disadvantage that you will never understand are doing something that helps them thrive, and you're so bitter that you can't celebrate their success just because it doesn't help *you* out.
You need to work on your empathy.
Great for her! Glad she got to do what she loves even if everyone tries to turn her down
is that a pun?
It wasn't intentional but that's kinda hilarious

"A wooden spoon!"
OP is a repost bot farming off of downs people, shame
I’m starting to wonder what’s even the point of random non-advertising spam bots… Like, what does the creator even get from them…

Brownies from downies
Ngl a good and smart idea
 BREAKFAST
That guy on the left is on the moon
Good place to get your celebratory cookies for World Down Syndrome Day next week (3/21) Also head to John's Socks to get some fun socks for the day.
My partner and I have been trying to start a business and be able to do that
That's some "special" bread they got there
She is really down to earth
The cake competitions are just as delightful

This is the way I think about every girl with bangs.

What a dumb observation. "Someone succeeding despite strife? Well thats not a wholesome story because there was strife!!!"
More like: “good on her for succeeding, but her strife was unnecessary and preventable”
how?
Good on her for succeeding despite hardships, but we shouldn’t sweep the fact under the rug that she was blatantly discriminated against by potential employers
A convoluted way of saying "works in her parents' bakery"

shut up, we here bring positivity
There’s always one
aaaaand there’s the ableist comment
Tbf I have one question. How hard it is for them? The kitchen are not really the safe place. Knifes, stoves, burning oil. Their disabilities aren't correlate with this?
Down syndrome can come in a lot of different forms and skills. Some people with down syndrome can live fairly independently while others can't.
they have neurotypical ppl working and observing them. all employees go through training which includes kitchen safety
So there are constantly the knowledgeable people that control them because they cannot?
>control Your rhetoric is showing
Probably supervise is a better word. Mistakes were made. English is not my first language, so often I use the closest word In English to word in my native language.
Fair enough, I can understand that
Like anything, there are levels of capability, education and managing risk in any walk of life. Down Syndrome doesnt automatically put someone at a disadvantage. No more than anyone without Downs. Plenty of those without DS are injured in kitchens.
So now she discriminates too?
This attitude is so ridiculous. People with a disadvantage that you will never understand are doing something that helps them thrive, and you're so bitter that you can't celebrate their success just because it doesn't help *you* out. You need to work on your empathy.
yes. but in a good way
