While attending school and even enrolling in college-level courses, brothers Shane and Nigel Mushambi, who are just 12 and 13 years old, respectively, are now the owners and CEOs of their Texas-based bakery named Two Bros in the Kitchen. Additionally, they make it a point to support their neighbourhood.
Shane and Nigel, who live in Missouri City, have always loved baking. After winning three straight years in a local baking competition, they got the notion to turn their hobby into a business—a bakery business. They realised they should start selling it when someone expressed interest in purchasing their winning piece.
They run a business and earn some money, but they also give some of their profits to charity. Additionally, they provide hundreds of meals to the homeless with their money.
According to Shane, “We like giving back to the community because the community has given a lot to us,” he told ABC 13. We donate to the JB Dondolo Foundation and Fort Bend Cares, both of which are working to rehabilitate hospitals in Africa.
The brothers like studying maths and physics in addition to baking. At Houston Community College, 8th grader Shane is enrolled in college-level math and engineering classes. Nigel, a seventh-grader, is enrolled in a pre-calculus class. They attempt to apply what they have learned about baking.
Shane stated, “I enjoy baking because it combines art and science. You must understand how bases and acids interact.
The irrepressible brothers also like writing, and they just released their first book, Beyond the Kitchen: How to Cook Up Success with Life’s Mistakes, to motivate young people to pursue their aspirations. One dollar is donated to the JB Dondolo Foundation for each book sold.
Nigel explained, “It’s about the mistakes we’ve made in the kitchen and how we learned from them. Our book was just recently published last week.
It demonstrates that you don’t need to be perfect to succeed, according to Shane. “As long as you learn from it, failing is okay.”
