SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - A 13-year-old girl running her own business selling baked goods is trying to make a difference for people her age.

DJ Sumayah has been running her business, DJ’s Sweet Treats, since she was 11. She’s developed quite a following with her cake pops and other baked goods at the South Bend Farmers Market.
