Meet Mikaila Ulmer. She’s an 11 year-old
entrepreneur that just landed a million dollar deal with Whole Foods for
her natural lemonade.
Ulmer was featured on the show ” Shark
Tank” last when she she won $60,000 for her BeeSweet lemonade business.
Ever since then, she’s taken off! Along with her mother, she decided to
research bees to learn more about why bees are becoming endangered.
Instead of using sugar, she decided to use honey as a sweetener. While she is afraid of bees, she wants to save them.
According to NBC, Mikaila Ulmer used her
grandmother’s recipe to create the lemonade that will be sold in 55
Whole Food stores. In addition to her distribution deal with Whole
Foods, she also has one with United Natural Foods.
In addition to being a student, Ulmer
plans to lead workshops on how to save bees. She also wants to visit
South Africa to teach little girls about being entrepreneurship.
Mikaila has been to the White House to meet President Obama and First Lady Obama at the Kid’s State dinner.
