During our conversation, Madison shares a heartwarming story about her camp experience, where she serves as the director of the music program at Camp Honey Creek for girls.

Madison emphasizes the importance of empowering young girls to become strong, independent individuals, and it's evident how much she values this role in her life.

She now creates stunning and delicious cookies, often sharing her vibrant creations on Instagram.
