Mikaila Ulmer is too, except for she tagged six zeros onto the end of that number. The 11 year old began making all natural lemonade from her grandmother’s recipe from the 1940’s, and what started out as a small business is paying off in a big way.

Ulmer was able to develop her product and her business after walking away with $60,000 in venture capital when she went on the ABC show, Shark Tank. A pretty gutsy move for someone who has barely hit double digits, but the investment paid off big time.

Ulmer just signed a deal for 11 million dollars to sell her lemonade, BeeSweet, in at least 55 Whole Foods stores across the country.

What’s unique about Ulmer’s product is that it skips the use of sugar or artificial sweetener, and instead it uses honey. Although she originally hated bees after being stung, she hopes to use the product to support beekeepers.

She wanted to find a way to help the bees when she learned they were at risk of going extinct during a school project. It looks like she found a way to help, and it looks like she’s got one bright future ahead of her.

“DREAMS DO COME TRUE HAVENT SEEN MY FATHER IN 23 YEARS !!!!!! AND I STILL LOVE HIM THE PAST IS THE PAST AND THE PRESENT IS ALL WE HAVE TO RELY ON WE NOT PERFECT IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM I LOVE YOU POPS !!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!!” Offset captioned under the video.

During his most recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Offset revealed that he hasn’t seen his father since he was four years old and hadn’t even spoke with him over the phone since 2016.

At the time, he made it clear that he was open to reuniting.

As for what separated them, the son says his dad wouldn’t return to his life, even after his success, due to pride. “It just started to make me upset. I’ve reached out and you’ve slapped my hand. You slapped my hand when it wasn’t even out,” he explained during the interview. “You didn’t even come back to put anything in my hand. So now I feel like you don’t have any respect for me. You’re still running and you don’t have to.”

Also during the interview, Offset also described his lean addiction and the Cardi B cheating scandal. It seems that he may have realized that, like all humans, he isn’t perfect and whatever happened between him and his father, everyone deserves a second chance.

Social media was also here for the reunion. See what they had to say below.

Seeing that video of offset seeing his father for the first time in 23 yrs hit me a bit. I never got the opportunity to talk to my father and work out our differences. He was never apart of my life and I just found out last year he’s been gone a few years now. I never knew him.

That video of offset seeing his father for the first time in years is so touching.

Yet Superwoman also — yeah, she’s also a Superhero! Finding a way to do more: she began her own agency, Parkwood Entertainment, like a manager, and actually took the bull by the horns of her life.

She released the R&B adventure “4” in 2011, featuring classics such as “Countdown,” “Love on Top,” “Party,” “End of Time,” “I Care” and “I Miss You.” Three years later, surprisingly, “Beyoncé” was released, her bold, audacious and daring album.Goodbye was the girl who was concerned to top the charts, and born was a poet, a real storyteller, a grown woman.

She somehow came back to top with “Lemonade,” which still tastes as good as when it was launched in 2016.

The usually private Beyoncé bars her heart on the record, singing in a bold way about a marriage, black pride, and motherhood. She’s lyrically on a point
But, she came back to top with Lemonade he said, noting how her soul was bored by the usually private singer/songwriter/producer, tackling relationship woes, motherhood, and black pride celebrations.

Albums from Adelle, Rihanna, Nas, Sam Smith, Katy Perry and Kendrick Lamar are bested by Lemonade, whom he referred to as “the greatest of all time.”
The Grammy Award winning masterpiece A Seat at the Table by Queen Bey’s baby sister Solange made the list, as did her very first secret project, the 2014 eponymous dish that brought in Love, Partition and Pretty Hurts to the Beyhive.

She is it and it is heard by men.

King, who directed tv episodes on Insecure and This Is Us, became delighted when her agent called for a big screen directorial debut. It was just before the Oscars and King told EW that she had just met in Miami with One Night executives.

One Night in Miami’s screen version is based on Kemp Powers ‘ novel, a fictional story focusing on a very real date–Feb. 25, 1964, the day Cassius Clay became the World Heavyweight Boxing champion.

The play presumes that Clay is enjoying his victory with family, Sam Cooke, Malcolm X, and football legend, Jim Brown inside a different Miami hotel, and that after that night, the men promise “a change will come” “My agent called and said,’ They’re going to roll with you, they’re not going to want to see anyone else,'” said King, 48, to EW.

“I can admit it now, I’ve been like,’ If I’m not winning the mom, Oscar, that’s all right. I’m going to make a movie.’ “Yaassss! This self-love and spice confidence is what we’ve come to love about King. In Watchmen, from Damon Lindelof, it is on full display. It has kept her occupied throughout the year juggling all her tasks. Yes… It would be the wrong word for occupied.

It has retained its profitability, which would be a better adjective. The research she’s completed is essentially dirt, fertile ground for everything that’s coming next year. And for it, we’re here. To remind us how “rocket” she is, we never needed Entertainment Weekly. Since being Brenda Jenkins in the sitcom canon of the Black family, 227, we have known that she was a force to be counted. This took the planet 35 years to catch up, shamefully

During that time, my favorite woman fatale was a business lawyer, called a Brooklyn brownstone home, and had three homegirls standing on her left and right, holding her down through the ups and downs of being a single, gender-positive power woman in the Big Apple.

She also brought her skills beyond the camera, traveling alongside Hillary Clinton on the presidential campaign trail and creating her own line of comic books.

Not only a few names but there are a lot more names that can be added to the list of black ladies coming forward and ruling the world in all industries. Recently we saw Zonzi being crowned as Miss Universe.

It is a proud moment for everyone that finally the world has forgotten being biased towards black skin and are happily accepting them as one of them.

London shared a picture of herself and Rusell on his 34^th birthday on instagram and wrote a beautiful caption.

Lauren London expressed the same in one of her interview where she was all gaga over her man, Nipsey Russel who was also a well known rapper. She said that they never fight or argue and sort out their differences in a peaceful manner.

But sometimes I would be crazy, and he never lost his cool in those moments, never disrespected me back, or called my name out. Either way, he loved me.

I was going to get hot tempered, sometimes out of control, and yell at him because it was convenient, but he was going to love me, hold me, stay patient and bring me back to character. And I know that I’ve missed my soulmate. Nobody else will hold me like him; nobody else will feed my heart like him. He was my positive when my way was thrown down by the devil. He’s been a man. He was the best half of me.

Lauren London is all happy and has nothing to store inside her. She is all set to let the world know how happy she was the way Nipsey made her feel.

After theloss of Nipsey Rusell Lauren has also has joined Puma and has paid a tribute to the love of her life with the forever stronger campaign. Also in the interview she quoted that we all fall in love once in a lifetime even though it might be just for the moment but the feeling must be enjoyed before you leave the world.

In the world of beauty pageants, this year has been a groundbreaking one for black women a forum that sparks understandable and ongoing debate about its enduring relevance and impact on beauty standards.

Nevertheless, the contest world definition of beauty has grown dramatically, as demonstrated by the 2019 crowning of four black women in internationally recognized titles: Miss America, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and, on Sunday, Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi from South Africa.

In March, when she became the first female of African descent to capture Miss International Queen in Thailand, Orlando, Fla’s Jazell Barbie Royale, representing the United States, created history.

Like other big pageants, it is nationally televised and offers substantial prizes for the length of the winner’s tenure, including a six-figure salary and luxury apartment. All profits from broadcasting on television are donated to Thailand’s Royal Charity AIDS Foundation.

Covered in 2017 by the CNN show This Is Life With Lisa Ling, the Miss International Queen contest officially aims to’ present an international competition to transgender and transsexual from around the globe, to provide transgender / transsexual with an ability to be more welcomed in today’s world, to raise awareness for transgender rights in international communities and to build friendships.

It also provides an alternative to physicalwork for transgender people in a country widely recognized for its tourism. She was presented with her own day by the mayor of her native Orlando at the coronation of Royale. And as the titleholder posted on Instagram in May, her platform includes awareness on sensually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection, prevention, and care.

But most important to us here at The Glow Up, when we recognize black women’s incredible victories in the overwhelmingly predominantly white pageantry nation, we want to make sure our trans sisters deserve the same well-earned attention.

We congratulate the participants of the pageants and a blast to the winners for their successful career and a bright future ahead. Thanks to the black ladies for coming forward and showing their true worth to everyone.

The contestants were asked to give their views on different relevant topics during the game, and people loved the responses from Zozibini. She used the opportunity to deliver a powerful message on women’s empowerment.

And standards of beauty that really resonated to people around the world, including stars as well as regular people commenting online.

Zozibini is South Africa’s third-largest recipient who has won prestigious pageants. Back in 2017, she took part in her first contest.

Where she participated for Miss South Africa’s crown. Sadly, she didn’t make it to the top 12 at the moment. Two years later, though, she took part in the same contest and won the title!

The model was born on September 18, 1993, in Tsolo, Eastern Cape, to Philiswa Nadapu and Lungisa Tunzi.

There are two other daughters in Zozibini. Zozibini graduated from the University of Technology in Cape Peninsula and graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and image management.

“I was very outspoken regarding my quest to crack the standards of attractiveness,” the model wrote in one of her latest posts on social media. “I believe in all shapes and forms of diversity and representation.”

“I grew up in a world where a female that looks like me, with my skin and hair, has never been considered beautiful. I think it’s time for that to end now, “the prototype said in one of the comments.”I want kids to look at me and see my eyes, and I want to see their heads up high when they see my achievements.”

Minnesota Timberwolves match. As online backlash mounted, the dress triggered a fierce debate on acceptable body standards in some outfits across Twitter.

At one hand of the debate, others suggested that it was unfair considering the NBA game’s family-friendly atmosphere against the look under the shield.

Some thought the backlash had more to do with the constant recognition and trust of Lizzo as a female of a plus-size. Hearing back to the past of her opponents of fat-shaming, she even chimed in her fans to mention how much more policed body types are relative with smaller ones.

“You don’t have to be like me, you have to be like you, and never let anyone hinder you or blame you,” she added. “I’ve always been this. Everybody is staring at it now and your critique can only be your judgement. Your judgment has no impact over me, it has no interest over my future, no power of my soul, my feelings. “Lizzo added,” I am the happiest I have ever been. I’m surrounded by love, and I just want to spread that love.

And spread that love as well. Lizzo recently released a music video for her track “Hot as netherworld.” At this year’s 2020 Grammy Awards, the artist was eligible for a total of eight awards, leading the pack of nominees.

I am not at all surprised at the news that all the four major titles in a beauty pageant were won by the women from the black community.

They are just the most beautiful females in the universe that God has created. The four major titles that were won by the black women are – Miss America; Miss Teen USA; Miss USA and now recently Miss Universe.

It was a very proud moment by the world and the black community and they deserve congratulation on this achievement.

This event will surely motivate many young girls from the world and country to come forward and make proud the community to glorify the cause of beauty for the women of the world. Before it was believed that the only contestants who deserved this position of beauty were from the fairer community and the blacks did not deserve to be adjured as the best in the competition at the world or the universe level.

We hope that this contest acts as a mile stone in the quest for the beauty in the world and the ladies from the black community come forward and participate in these competitions.

I would like to take this chance to congratulate the black women from the community and hope that they will continue to bring laurels to their community and never stop to come forward during such contests. I also wish all the best to the black ladies for the future competitions and contests to come.
