A Teen's Flight from Lemonade Stand to Corporate CEO

Naturally Brown Woman - Empower Women of Color

From the fear of bees to the buzz of success, Mikayla Ulmer's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Join us as we sit down with the teenage CEO and her mother to uncover the story behind Me and the Bees Lemonade and the lessons detailed in Mikayla's book, "Be Fearless Dream Like a Kid". It's a tale that transforms a sting into a triumph, proving how education, passion, and a zest for life can turn adversity into opportunity. With the sweetness of entrepreneurial spirit and the tang of hard-earned wisdom, this session is a toast to ingenuity and the importance of support systems in shaping young business minds.
Imagine crafting a lemonade stand into a thriving business that captures the attention of Time Magazine and Shark Tank. That's exactly what Mikayla did, blending unique flavors with a mission to save the bees. As we sip on stories of balancing board meetings with biology tests, we also peek into the future with anticipation for Mikayla's innovative ideas and her commitment to environmental stewardship. This segment is a refreshing look at the confluence of health-conscious products and the savvy needed to stand out in the competitive beverage industry, all before reaching adulthood.
Finally, we shift gears to empower the next generation of changemakers. As a guide for nurturing your child's business acumen, I share insights on integrating life skills with entrepreneurial ventures. From the Shark Tank stage to local farmers' markets, we'll explore how community support and strategic mentorship can launch a youngster's vision into a reality that benefits us all. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or a parent to one, this story of a young woman's ambitious drive is a testament to the power of perseverance and the bright future of female leaders.
