Mikaila Ulmer was 4 years old when she got stung by a bee twice in one week. Most kids would have been terrified. Mikaila got curious. πππΎ
She started learning about bees and discovered they were endangered β so she used her great-grandmotherβs flaxseed lemonade recipe and added local honey to create Me & The Bees Lemonade . And she started selling it at her front door. ππ₯
She pitched on Shark Tank at 9 years old and walked out with a $60,000 deal from Daymond John. π¦π° Since then, her lemonade has landed on the shelves of Whole Foods across America and she secured an $11 MILLION investment deal from a group of investors β making her one of the most successful young Black entrepreneurs in the country. π€―π
