October is National Women's Small Business Month and we're highlighting a University of Houston freshman who is the owner of not one but two food trucks in the city

stands out from the rest of her peers. Kayce Ekpenike, a freshman in college, is the owner of not one, but two food trucks in the city!

"We used to set up in a tent, so we would sell funnel cakes from that," said Kayce Ekpenike, an 18-year-old businesswoman.With no financial help from her parents, Kayce decided it was time to grow her company. "She started with very little capital. I can say that everything she’s purchased and earned came directly from the business. We did not put one dollar into this business," said Kentrell Jones, Kayce's mother. "When we kept getting so many calls like ‘come to our school, come to our church’ and we were like we can’t do it all with just one truck," said Ekpenike.

"We have so many different toppings like ice cream, cheesecake strawberries, Oreos, all the fun stuff," said Ekpenike.
