ABOUT LIZ
\n<\/b>Liz Ross started life in a dysfunctional family that included a whirlwind of tough events that strongly impacted her childhood. She left home at the early age of fourteen. She quickly spiraled into depression and addiction. The people that she was surrounded by in her adolescence were drug addicts and alcoholics. She dropped out of school with an 8th-grade education.<\/p>\n

<\/span>But Liz was smart and realized she had to rely on herself\u2014no one else\u2014to fix her problems. Not too much later, Liz found herself pregnant, and she joined forces with her baby\u2019s father to better both their lives. They owned and operated a bar and Liz worked there until she began staying at home with her young daughter. That\u2019s when she bought a sewing machine and started sewing clothing and crafts to sell on eBay.<\/p>\n

<\/span>She opened a boutique store in South Carolina, and the business became one of the fastest-growing boutiques in the country. With Facebook and internet orders, she began manufacturing on a large scale and moved her production abroad. The business has continued to thrive, and she has moved to a highly successful internet-based business.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Liz has recently remarried and is helping her daughter figure out what to do with her life. When she\u2019s not working, she can often be found working on decorating her new home or traveling to somewhere new and exciting. But wherever she goes, chances are, she\u2019s still creating in her mind because Southern Fried Chics is just getting started.<\/span><\/p>\n
