Who is Tyla-Simone Crayton from Shark Tank?
1) Tyla had the idea for Sienna Sauce when she was 8. After her favorite restaurant closed up and was no longer serving wings, she was bummed. But, instead of wallowing, she got to work. She tried to replicate the restaurant’s signature sauce, but ended up with her better version! The rest is history.
2) She has her own day. Yes, you read that right. In her home state of Texas, February 4 is Tyla-Simone Day. How amazing is that?
3) If that wasn’t impressive enough, Tyla-Simone’s been noticed by Beyoncé! The singer donated funds to Black-owned businesses, and hers was one of them!
4) She was featured on the cover of ESSENCE Magazine as a part of their New Voices campaign. Check out her stunning photo below!
5) She and her mother, Monique are very close. Not only are they a mother-daughter duo, but Monique is the President of Sienna Sauce! That’s what we call “keeping it in the family.”
