Forbes magazine has recently published the list of the 30 most successful entrepreneurs under the age of 30 for Europe, and the name of an Albanian woman stands out.

Krissy Cela or Kristiana Çela is listed as one of this year's entrepreneurs under 30 years old.

By posting online exercises Krissy Cela gained attention on Instagram where today she has 3.1 million followers.

The Albanian immigrant to the UK and her gym buddy launched a business in 2017: a women-focused fitness and nutrition app, the EvolveYou app, plus Çela's Oner Active gym clothing line with annual revenue exceeding 34 million dollars.

The application counts 80 thousand active registrants per month, according to the profile compiled by Forbes for the duo.

Çela has made a reaction on her social networks on this ranking, bringing to attention her story of leaving Albania to enter Britain with her parents in the back of a truck 20 years ago, a story of this and more Albanians that still follows.

"Some of you may know and others may not, but it didn't happen overnight. I am a female refugee who immigrated to Britain from Albania in the back of a banana lorry with my family. I stepped into the gym with no intention of growing a community of 6 million women around the world. Jack and I launched the EvolveYou app with the hope of helping women build mental and physical strength," says Çela.
