An entrepreneur for 18 years, A. Michele turned a small summer venture started in her garage into the beloved Honey Dripper Truck, affectionately known as “Big Baby.” A major milestone came last year through a historic collaboration with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, who adopted an alternate identity as the Jacksonville Honey Drippers—a first in over 17 years—and now sell Honey Drippers in the stadium during the season.

A. Michele is a member of Truth In Love Ministries under Pastor Colbie & Camilla Nesbitt, serves on the Florida Avenue Main Street Board, and is a proud advocate for Jacksonville’s Eastside. Passionate about giving back, she supports nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and community excellence, and is a recipient of the Shades of Green Awards: Mental Health Excellence Awards Gala.
