Birdy Boutique / Barbara Kent and Joanna Serra, Armada, MI

Sisters Barbara Kent and Joanna Serra immigrated to the United States from Poland as children in 1988. Watching their mother perform hard physical work to put food on the table, they learned that hard work and determination can equal success, which led to the creation of Birdy Boutique; a Michigan-based textile manufacturing company that makes a variety of childrens items.
