Grayson Roberts, entrepreneur, artist, and an overall exceptional kid, stands as a shining example of what having determination, passion, and a dream look like.
Born blind, with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, Grayson has had 32 surgeries and 5 cornea transplants to attempt to preserve the vision he has left. His indomitable spirit and boundless enthusiasm have taken him on an extraordinary journey, and he’s only 9 years old.
Because Grayson had to spend the majority of his summer at home, going through a medical process, he wasn’t able to do any of the traditional summer things, like going to the beach or the park. According to his mother, Terica, Grayson “thought with it being so hot why not sit outside and have a lemonade stand and try to raise some money for his desire to travel?”
I don’t let my limited vision stop me. I’m funny, happy, love to sing and make music, travel, learning and I believe I can do anything.”
But this wasn't just any ordinary lemonade stand. Grayson, a talented musician who can play several instruments and sing, decided to combine his love for music with his business venture. His lemonade stand featured not only pitchers of delicious lemonade but also his beloved drum set. The rhythmic beats and sweet melodies filled the air as Grayson put his heart and soul into his passions, playing music and building his travel fund so he could travel the world.
What truly propelled Grayson into the limelight was the moment when music manager, Charlie Rocket, stumbled upon Grayson’s lemonade stand and shared a video of the young mogul online. The world quickly fell in love with Grayson's zest for life and his incredible talents. “He’s blind, but he doesn’t let it stop him from his dreams. He‘s not making any excuses. He’s a little entrepreneur. He’s a musician,” Rocket explained, proudly.
Charlie Rocket's support didn't stop at just a video. He invited Grayson to set up his Limitless Lemonade stand at Rocket’s Los Angeles social club, The Dream Factory. Grayson set up shop offering his secret-recipe lemonade, made with organic ingredients and colorful sprinkles, for a small donation. Among his unique flavors is "Sky Blu-nicorn 2.2," a testament to Grayson’s creative gift.
It was at The Dream Factory where Grayson got the surprise of a lifetime, catching the attention of none other than Travis Barker, the renowned drummer for Blink-182. Barker was deeply moved by Grayson's determination and impressed by his musical abilities. Grayson’s videos have garnered over 300 million views, which shows that millions of other people are impressed with him too.

In a heartwarming gesture, Barker donated to Grayson's fund and gifted him two pairs of drumsticks. The two talented drummers, one a seasoned professional and the other a young prodigy had a jam session that left those in attendance awestruck. Barker on the drums and Grayson on the mic, their music transcended boundaries, proving that talent knows no age and no limits.
From connecting with music icons like Travis Barker and Charlie Rocket to raising enough money to attend a music school that he has long aspired to join, Grayson has shown that anything is possible with passion and persistence.
One of Grayson's travel dreams is to visit the iconic Great Wall of China, and as a surprise from Booking.com, he received the opportunity to turn this dream into a reality. This remarkable journey has only fueled Grayson's determination and passion.
Grayson Roberts' journey is a testament to the incredible kindness and generosity of people, the power of dreams, the strength of the human spirit, and the incredible potential that lies within every individual, regardless of their circumstances.
His mother emphasizes the importance of breaking through societal labels. She wants people to see Grayson's story and realize that regardless of any labels placed upon them, there are no limits to what one can achieve. Grayson's lemonade stand, aptly named "Limitless," perfectly encapsulates this message of boundless potential - the sky is not the limit, it is just the beginning of what can be achieved when one believes in oneself.
Grayson Roberts is an inspiration to us all, proving that life's challenges can be transformed into opportunities for greatness.
