Welcome !

Hi! I'm Selah, the 4-year-old founder and Chief Joy Officer of Sweet Joy, right here in Hyde Park, Chicago!

I love lollipops, and I love making people smile. So, I decided to start my own business to sell the most colorful, most delicious, and most joyful lollipop(s) to you! I want to make you smile. For me, selling lollipops is about more than just selling candy; it's about sharing happiness.

Why did I launch my business on the 4th of July?

July 4th is Independence Day! For me, today, July 4th 2025 is the day I start my very own business. It’s my "Founder's Day" and a celebration of creating something all my own.

I was inspired by the amazing stories of Bronzeville & Black Wall Street, where brilliant entrepreneurs built whole communities of businesses that they owned. They created joy and success for themselves and their neighbors. I want to build my own little street of sweetness right here in the CHI, and I’m starting with lollipops!

Every lollipop I sell is a little piece of joy. Thank you for visiting my website and helping my sweet dream grow!
