WMDT – It’s Monday and that means it’s time to introduce you to a new emerging leader.

Mekia Cherone is the owner of Cherone Chocolates, an artisan chocolate business that recently won a prize at the Foundation Shore Hatchery entrepreneurship competition.

This morning, Mekia stopped by to tell us more about this achievement and her tasty treats!

The business is online but was established in Willards! They provide gluten-free, dark and white chocolate.

Cherone says she learned about the craftmanship of chocolatiers from her grandmother and several culinary classes.

She tells us she is grateful for the opportunity to participate in the competition and receive mentorship.

Mekia says she enjoys wowing others with her treats and her business has boomed over the last couple of weeks.
