In an interview, Carter said about her business venture, “My role in the business is everything. I facilitate the shipments going out and I’m the one who really likes to do the business part of it.

They even have a website which currently has a lot of offers. Carter was also in the reality show Love Thy Sister, which focused on the her and her sister’s lives.
