The Meyers knew their daughter Leah was destined for baking when she was just 4 years old. One night, after waking to some commotion downstairs, they found her sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor, cracking eggs, and having the time of her life. When they asked her what she was doing, Leah cheerfully exclaimed, “Making cookies!”
Leah, who was born with Down syndrome, eventually channeled that early love of baking into her dream job. Now in her 20s, she serves as the creative force behind the Mermaid Café, a gluten-free bakery and coffee shop in San Antonio that employs people with disabilities. Leah’s parents, Karen Krumrey Meyer, BS ’93, and Drew Meyer, BS ’95, co-own the café, and they each play a pivotal role in helping Leah channel her culinary talent and generous spirit into a thriving family business.
