When she was 10 years old, entrepreneur Mikaila Ulmer wowed the judges on NBCβs βShark Tankβ securing $60,000 from FUBU CEO Daymond John to push her beverage company to the next level.
Now, a year later, the Austin, Texas-based 6th-graderβs BeeSweet Lemonade, just inked an $11 million dollar deal and her product will appear in 55 Whole Foods stores in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, Louisiana.
Ulmerβs recipe comes from her grandmother and uses beeβs honey instead of sugar.
βWhen I was four years old, I got stung by two bees in one week,β she said to NBC News. βIt was painful. I was terrified of bees.β
We over here at βThe Chocolate Voiceβ are screaming at the top of our lungs shoutingβCongratulations young lady!
