<p>Two Black doctors out of #Jacksonville, FL (Duuuuuvaaaallll ????????) are making history after becoming the very first Black-owned water company to be sold in Walmart!</p>
<p>Live Alkaline Water, the brainchild of Robert McCray and business partner Dr. Shayla Creer, is sourced from a natural spring that McCray’s family has owned for over 100 years. His aunt is actually who inspired him to go into business for himself when he was a child. &#8220;The blood of your ancestors is crying out for you,&#8221; McCray recalls. &#8220;You&#8217;re responsible for this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Creer tells @FirstCoastNews that getting their water into stores was not easy at all. “I called… many Walmarts, and finally we got a hold of one who allowed us to do a presentation,” she said. The couple didn’t know that the regional manager would be present and once the water hit shelves they sold out in a month. Now, they are getting orders for the water all over the world—even in Africa!</p>
<p>As of today, Live Alkaline Water is in two JAX Walmarts and one in Fruit Cove, but something tells us they’ll be eeeeverywhere very soon!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
