Collettey’s Cookies
June 28, 2024
Collette Divitto, Founder and CEO of Collettey’s Cookies, was born in 1990 with Down
syndrome. You may have seen her on Forbes and People Magazine, GMA, CNN, Chronicle,
Huffington Post, ABC and CBS World News, Pop Sugar and more! After years of rejection with
trying to find employment, she would not let that defeat her and started her own companies, all
missioned to create employment opportunities and empowerment programs for people with
disabilities. Since baking was her go-to fun hobby, she decided to bring samples to a local
market in 2016. Since then she has sold over 700,000 cookies, and ships across the United
States and Canada. She has scaled her company up to mass production and is focused on
building her empire with the determination to become a nationally recognized company, in
hopes to de-stigmatize the world.
Collette’s cookie company donates 5% to her non profit called Collettey’s Leadership Program,
where Collette offers workshops and mentorships for people with disabilities and challenges.
Collette has also started a series of books that share her own stories in growing up and the
challenges she faced, all with and ending with a positive outcome and message.
Collette in Kindergarten and Collette in Third Grade are published now and found on
www.colletteys.com or Amazon.
Collettey’s is a Certified DisabilityIN company and was recently appointed by Massachusetts Governor
Maura Healey to the SDO Diverse and Small Business Advisory Board.
