Youngstown mom and daughter venture into entrepreneurship together

Aurielle Irizarry and Amari Washington are the founders of Mommy and Me Lemonade. They started selling lemonade at a car wash in Youngstown at the corner of Glenwood and Princeton avenues. What started out with three flavors and one stand grew to 15 flavors and them doing vendor events and catering. The plan is to be in a storefront by summer 2023. Washington says being able to work with her mother is something that means the world to her. “It feels fun, and it feels surprising and nice,” she said. ‘I always wanted to teach her more so about entrepreneurship, you know? I went through different jobs, things I didn’t like, working for somebody else” . . .
