25
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:49.639
Well. Today's topic is why We
wind w I N E. And my

26
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.520
guest is Nicole Anderson. Let me
give you just a little bit of background

27
00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:04.520
on Nicole Anderson. Nicole Anderson is
a wine may speaker and professional marketeer who

28
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:12.919
has definitely blended her passion for wine
with her experience as a recent breast cancer

29
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:20.919
survivor to create a brand that is
both inspiring and relatable. After being diagnosed

30
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:28.080
with stage two breast cancer. In
December of twenty twenty one. Nicole used

31
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:36.199
her diagnosis as an opportunity to explore
her own happiness and joy, discovering that

32
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.680
a glass of wine was always a
comforting part of her treatment journey. Nicole

33
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:50.319
released two new sparkling wines in commemoration
of her cancer journey, aptly named A

34
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:57.039
Toast to Me, A Bubbly Reasoning, and limited addition, Bubbly Rose,

35
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:03.680
where proceeds are donated to I Will
Survive, which is a nonprofit breast cancer

36
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:13.800
organization. Her wine, which stands
for having evolved repeatedly, represents her resilience,

37
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.920
determination, and creativity. I'd like
to introduce my guests, Miss Nicole

38
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:30.439
Anderson. Hello, Hi, how
are you. It's so great to have

39
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.439
you on the show. I know
it took us a little while to get

40
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:38.120
here, but that's okay. We're
here now, We are here now.

41
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.759
I am doing fantastic, So honored
to be here, so excited to have

42
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:48.360
this conversation and to chat while we
whine. Absolutely, so let me just

43
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.680
get started. One of the things
I like to do. I always give

44
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:59.199
the standard bio on my guests,
but then I like to ask the guests

45
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.120
for them to tell us, So
you tell us what you want us to

46
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:08.759
know about Nicole Anderson. Oh man, that's always a that's always a fun

47
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.680
one. So for you did such
a great job. So I appreciate that

48
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.680
introduction. Let alone. I think
if I was to add anything to it,

49
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.519
I would say that I started out
on this journey just as a lover

50
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:26.800
of wine. I have no wine
experience prior to this. I started this

51
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.720
journey in twenty eighteen making wine at
my house, so literally learning how to

52
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.800
use kits. I was bored with
wine at the time. Everything was muscatto

53
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.560
this, muscatto that, and I
was like, there's gotta be more.

54
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:46.920
And I decided to just give it
a shot Google YouTube Academy. I was

55
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.720
like, oh, there's people who
are making wine at their house and like

56
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:55.160
doing this on their own. Why
not? And you know a little with

57
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.480
down the line. A few months
later, I was able to create my

58
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.920
first couple of bottles, and all
of the flavors that you guys are tasting,

59
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.959
and the wines that are part of
the portfolio today are all wines that

60
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.199
you know, We're kind of just
a thought or something that I played with

61
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.199
and came up with that concoction and
now here we are. Wow, that's

62
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:25.959
amazing. So how long have you
been an entrepreneur? I would say it

63
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.079
sounds so silly. I mean honestly, as a child, I've been doing

64
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:36.519
entrepreneurship and dabbling into different endeavors.
I was the candy lady in my neighborhood

65
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.920
when I was in elementary school,
So like, I started really young in

66
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.279
building that kind of foundation and interest
in entrepreneurship, but with full time just

67
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.800
really diving into something that I found
passion behind. That really started with this

68
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.519
company, with my wine company,
and we officially launched in twenty twenties,

69
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.680
so right in the midst of the
pandemic. Wow. Now, I know

70
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.040
this has been a journey for you
doing this. Tell us about that journey

71
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.079
and what actually brought you into the
wine industry. I know you said you

72
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.839
were kind of bored with the wines, but tell us about that journey.

73
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.319
It was. Honestly, it was
a lot of fun. So I kind

74
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:25.759
of equate make wine like a science
experiment, so to speak. So it's

75
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.759
a lot of like putting pieces together
and trying to create like the perfectly balanced

76
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.759
wine. So it was really interesting
when I started, I like I mentioned,

77
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:42.839
started out with wine kids, and
I'm very we gotta put something in

78
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.839
my heart. Sometimes you just gotta
act. Sometimes you can't delay. And

79
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.879
I don't like delaying when I feel
like something's in my spirit. And so

80
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.519
God literally was like try this wine
kid, and I saw it online.

81
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.000
I did not want to wait for
it to ship to me. I was

82
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:03.000
so excited to like start this process. So I found a wine store in

83
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.480
Georgia that actually sold the kids.
Ended up talking to the owner and she

84
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.160
predominantly was helping people create beer,
but she had experience in creating wine.

85
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.879
She offered to let me use her
space, to rent out her space to

86
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.639
create my wine there and taught me
everything, you know, from start to

87
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.319
finish. So it was really really
amazing to kind of go in and find

88
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.560
somebody, you know. It was
a spirit that led me to actually being

89
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.200
impatient and wanted to start today and
led me to finding a location where I

90
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:41.120
could do so. And from there
I found out very quickly that Uncle Sam

91
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.120
kind of frowns upon h You're selling
wine that you make yourself, and you

92
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.559
know a prohibition. I was like, oh, yeah, does so.

93
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.399
So I decided to use twenty nineteen
and really twenty twenty to buckle down and

94
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.879
get all of my ducks in a
row, you know, get all the

95
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.519
permitting, find a license on winery, which took time because I entered into

96
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.879
this industry again as just a lover
of wine and someone who appreciates the process.

97
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.679
But up until that point, my
experience was going to wine wineries and

98
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.440
doing wine tours with my friends,
and I had an appreciation for the process,

99
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.399
but never an actual formalized knowledge or
education. And so there was a

100
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.279
lot of doors. There were a
lot of nose. There were a lot

101
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.679
of we're not interested, we don't
want to make your style of wine.

102
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.240
I heard that a lot before I
heard the one yes, and so it

103
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.200
took it took over a year,
you know, to kind of get to

104
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.679
a place where I could find the
perfect partner that was willing to curate wines

105
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.720
in the style that I wanted,
and from there was able to kind of

106
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.639
just blossom and flourish. And now
we're in stories here in Georgia and we're

107
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.360
getting national distribution soon. So we're
just we're instantly growing and it's a beautiful

108
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.840
thing. Wow, Now I know
you said that you kind of knocked on

109
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:15.120
a lot of doors and you got
nose. But was it hard for you

110
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.320
to get into the wine industry?
Do you think because you were a woman

111
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.720
or is it just really a hard
process to get into that industry? You

112
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:30.759
know, I I don't want to
say that there's anything that's too hard to

113
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.320
get into. Wine is definitely something
that's very traditional, you know, it

114
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:41.279
is the old boys club, so
to speak. But I also feel like

115
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.679
when you have certain perseverance and you're
just not gonna take no for an answer,

116
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.919
you'll find a way when you want
to. So I never like to

117
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.720
say that it's hard to get into
the industry because it's not. It takes

118
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.799
work, it takes research and time
like anything else, but it's possible.

119
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.200
Now, are there additional barriers that
were set up because of my life of

120
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.960
experience and knowledge and my color of
my skin and my gender. Absolutely,

121
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.879
I would be you know, I
would not be giving great advice if I

122
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.799
said that those things didn't exist and
occur. I could tell you off rip.

123
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.360
I would speak to different wineries.
In the moment that they figured out

124
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.240
that I was black, or that
I had no wine experience, they were

125
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.240
no longer interested and it was no
like communication just dies at that point,

126
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.399
and so there was a lot of
that, a lot of ghosting in the

127
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:35.440
in that community. But I will
say that I felt like people were playing

128
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.679
hot potato with me. So it
was like, oh, once I told

129
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.279
them what I wanted, what I
was trying to accomplish, it was either

130
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.840
oh, we're going to charge you, you know, an arm and a

131
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.759
leg and then some or you don't
do that, so here, try this

132
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.840
person. Oh we don't know that
that person doesn't do it. Try this

133
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.440
person. So it took a lot
of referrals, but it felt like people

134
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.480
were just pushing me off until I
found the one company that was willing to

135
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.519
say, hey, actually I think
I got somebody for you, and I

136
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.639
think we can do it. Let
me see what we can do. Wow.

137
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.639
Interesting. Now I know that there
are a lot of wines out there,

138
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.559
there are a lot of wine makers
out there. What do you feel

139
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.440
makes you different or that sets you
apart from them? I love that.

140
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.480
So my wine, as you mentioned, it stands for something. So her

141
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:33.879
is actually an acronym and it stands
for having evolved repeatedly. And the idea

142
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.480
behind that is I wanted to curate
something that can follow us along this journey.

143
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:45.840
As we are constantly achieving and pursuing
our goals and our passions. Oftentimes

144
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.840
we kind of get tunnel vision on
that goal and we kind of just tap

145
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.679
in and lock in and we don't
take time to really appreciate the process,

146
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.600
you know. And so each of
the wines that I've created, they represent

147
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.200
those moments that give us permission to
unwind. It gives us permission to prioritize

148
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:09.879
ourselves. And for me, those
times, those moments were usually associated with

149
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.080
a glass of wine some way,
and so I wanted to create those experiences

150
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.360
in those moments for others. So
each of the wine and represent those moments.

151
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.279
We have a peach wine right now
that's called Finally after five. All

152
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.399
of the wines are traditional wines with
a twist, so you'll hear a lot

153
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.919
of fruit forward names and flavors.
And that one pays homage to all of

154
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.480
my corporate warriors that are nine to
five grinding and those of us that are

155
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.840
in the entrepreneurship route and where that
were dual rolls, because a lot of

156
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.919
us do both. So I wanted
to capture what finally after five means for

157
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.240
all of us. And the cool
unique factor about that one also is it's

158
00:13:52.320 --> 00:14:00.360
fifteen percent, so put that into
perspective stellar roses or anywhere between five and

159
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.519
seven. So you need one good
glass, maybe two if you're really dangerous,

160
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.879
say you're gonna feel really good.
Yes, now you mentioned the peach

161
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.519
flavor. What are some of the
other flavors that you have? I know

162
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:20.120
you and you also said finally after
five, that's so, what are some

163
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.000
of the other flavors that you have? We have Mama needs a break.

164
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.759
So that one is a sweet tinned
merlough. It's not sweet, it's very

165
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.919
reminiscent to a cabernet. But if
you like a good, well balanced,

166
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:39.279
smooth red wine it's not super dry, that's gonna be a fan favorite.

167
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.639
And then we have our two sparkling
wines as well. So I have the

168
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.440
sparkling Reasoning and a sparkling Rose and
I named them a toast to me,

169
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.240
And the idea there is I really
want us to reframe how we choose to

170
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.399
celebrate, because a lot of times
we'll delay our happiness in that big moment,

171
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.360
like I'm gonna wait till this milestone
birthday or when I get this promotion

172
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.559
or you know, we're always like
waiting for the next thing. But anytime

173
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:15.120
every day that we're here, every
day that we get to make our impact

174
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.399
and push our business or our passions
forward, that's the day worthy of celebration.

175
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.200
So I want us to get into
a habit of incorporating and injecting more

176
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.159
celebrations for the small things and not
just waiting for the one big thing,

177
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.360
because it's the compilation of the small
things that makes the big thing that more

178
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:37.600
more exciting. So let's celebrate those
things. So those two are my newest

179
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.320
releases, and they're really awesome because
the Rose is dedicated towards my breast cancer

180
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.320
journey, and so it's just really
cool to be able to give back in

181
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:52.600
that way. Wow. Now,
I know you mentioned doing this like during

182
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.960
a pandemic or right before. How
did COVID influence or affect your wine business?

183
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.320
Wow? You know, So I
officially launched my business September twenty twenty.

184
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:12.080
So Covid served dual purposes for me. Covid allowed me an opportunity to

185
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:19.519
actually focus in and set dedicated time
to creating and doing the work that was

186
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.759
needed to officially launch it. Because
you know, the reality is that their

187
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:29.240
life is full of distractions, and
so COVID removed all of that when you're

188
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.720
you know, forced inside, and
so I really decided intentionally so to take

189
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:38.960
that time to be productive for myself. Adversely, God will say, or

190
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.159
in addition to that, outside of
just being able to go through the adversities

191
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.200
of building a business in the midst
of COVID, because that's the whole thing

192
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:55.279
in itself, it actually ended up
being such a blessing because you know,

193
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:07.319
there's there's certain businesses that are as
we call economically sound or that are recession

194
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:12.240
proof, and I would say that, you know, spirits are definitely something

195
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.799
that you know, people during different
times lean more into. And so we

196
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:22.759
saw a huge spike in people looking
to indulge in different spirits. But that

197
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.079
isn't the biggest thing. The biggest
thing that came out of COVID, I

198
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:33.359
think was the intentionality of our community
as African Americans to really highlight and support

199
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.119
one another. For me, what
I find or what I've found is coming

200
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.920
out of COVID came we became a
closer community, and there was a lot

201
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.480
of support and rally behind small black
owned businesses or craft spirits that were something

202
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:55.720
unique and different that people were looking
for. And so my brand perfectly aligned

203
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.240
in that. Because we're minority own
or blooming on, we have a purpose

204
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.759
that were driven behind, but we
were relatable and I think it offered people

205
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.319
were looking for something that was different, that was relatable, that tastes good,

206
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.720
that kind of you know, was
like a Fubo effect for us bias

207
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.279
right, And so for me,
I think that's probably the biggest takeaway is

208
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:22.759
the community built that happened as a
result of COVID. Wow. So tell

209
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.640
me now, I know that you
said her wine stands for you have an

210
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:33.039
acronym for that, it's an acronym
for something else. How did you come

211
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:38.559
up with the name her whine?
Uh? The name her Wine came came

212
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:45.680
out of despair, if I'm being
honest. So when I started this business,

213
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:52.839
I actually had my very first like
business WHOA my big business blow very

214
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:57.599
early into my business. The name
of my business was originally was something else,

215
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:04.200
and we ended up getting sued unrightfully
so, but we ended up receiving

216
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:11.319
a season desist from another another winery
that was using a similar name. And

217
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.160
to wrap it with a bow,
on it. Essentially there the name was

218
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:25.240
extremely common, and there were other
wineries throughout the nation that were using that

219
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:30.559
same likeness. However, they had
never pursued any of those businesses that were

220
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.200
bigger and that didn't necessarily look like
me or were owned by people that look

221
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:40.680
like me. However, they for
whatever reason, chose me, and so

222
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:47.799
we had to go through the litigations
of fighting for the name and for rights

223
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.079
and who's right and who's wrong,
and you know, there's just so many

224
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:56.160
different ways that it spent spun up
to be. However, as a business

225
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.519
owner, you kind of get put
in a position. Right. So at

226
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.559
that partic icular time, I had
just created my new batch of wine.

227
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.119
I'm ready to go to market.
I have spent all this money. Everything

228
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.119
up until this point has been self
funded. So this is my heart arm

229
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.039
writing that I have poured into this
business. And all of a sudden,

230
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.480
I'm getting a cease and desist from
a company that's not even anywhere near where

231
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:23.000
I'm doing my business, and I
have to pause everything. And so,

232
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.920
as entrepreneurs, the one lesson you
learned very early on in business is the

233
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.960
art of pivot. And you get
a choice, you have to choose.

234
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:36.240
Am I going to stagnate and just
you know, fight this thing, figure

235
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:41.160
it out? Do we rebrand and
we continue to push the needle as we

236
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:42.839
need to, and we figure this
out on the back end, And that's

237
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:48.480
the latter is ultimately what I chose
to do. I wanted to continue to

238
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.240
build off of the momentum that we
had. We just launched in September.

239
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.680
We get a cease and desist in
April, so you know, you're kind

240
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.599
of in this pickle of like,
just launched this business. I just came

241
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.720
up with the name, like and
in my head the name was brilliant.

242
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.839
So the name was Unwind. That
was the name that I had. It

243
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.480
was like Unwind with a while.
I was like, oh, none can

244
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.640
uses that. That's so unique,
Like apparently everybody had that same thought,

245
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.440
so lesson learned. Definitely look it
up, like do your research. But

246
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.359
long story short, I ended up
winning the case, so I could have

247
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:30.200
used the name. But in the
midst of me pivoting and rebranding her came

248
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.200
to me because that was what I
was doing in that moment, I was

249
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.559
evolving. I was in a position
where I had to decide, am I

250
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.079
going to evolve or repeat. Are
we going to evolve or are we going

251
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.119
to stay this track and keep the
course? And so evolution to me is

252
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.359
continuous, it's it's never in one
singular area. And it really represented where

253
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:55.720
I was in my transformation in my
life, and so I was able to,

254
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.599
you know, kind of do a
double entanger on the name a little

255
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:07.200
bit, and that's really what kind
of birthed her wine. Wow, that

256
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.400
is so interesting because some people would
have, like you said, given up.

257
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.480
They you know, they would have
been so frustrated that they may have

258
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:21.440
just said, I'm not gonna do
this. There were many nights like that.

259
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:25.200
Don't get me wrong, there's a
lot of tears, a lot of

260
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:30.160
frustrations. But you know, it's
when it's your baby, it's your passion,

261
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.640
you just wanna That's where grit comes
in. That's where where great greatness

262
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.160
is birth from adversity, and so
sometimes you just gotta pushed through, have

263
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:44.279
faith and keep pushing. Absolutely.
Wow. Now, when I was reading

264
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:49.400
your bio, it was mentioned in
there that you had the breast cancer and

265
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:55.519
that that was also a part of
you starting the wine business. Tell us

266
00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.119
about that. Yeah, So I, as I mentioned, if we're going

267
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:06.119
through a timeline. I launched this
company September twenty twenty. I get hit

268
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:11.359
with the lawsuit in April twenty twenty
one, and after that happens, I'm

269
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:17.160
in rebrand mode. I'm in cell
mode. And so from April through or

270
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.319
for the remainder of twenty twenty one, April through December, I was an

271
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.799
extreme hustle mode. I had a
nine to five. I was an executive

272
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.240
for this corporation, so I had
a team of people I'm leading and balancing

273
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:36.920
that on top of building this business
that's taking off but does require an extensive

274
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.359
time, you know, requirement because
we're a team of one. And that

275
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:42.559
was it. So it was your
marketing, your sales, your finance,

276
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:47.880
your everything. And then on top
of that, trying to even you know,

277
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:49.799
my social life was non existent.
It was if it wasn't wine,

278
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:56.119
it was nothing. So I fail
all that to say that throughout that process,

279
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.519
the one thing that fell by the
wayside was my health. I was

280
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.200
so so consumed with giving and pouring
into everybody else. I'm a daughter,

281
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.400
I you know, I'm very close
to my friends, so they're starting commitments

282
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.160
that I have outside of myself just
just as being a helper and a you

283
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:21.400
know, citizen and community. And
so I was I found myself not pouring

284
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:26.680
from an empty cup. We were
like desert dry. There was nothing left

285
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.000
for me to give. And when
that happens, I feel like your body

286
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.240
kind of goes introspectively and starts to
eat it yourself. And I wasn't.

287
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.279
I wasn't drinking water consistently. I'm
not eating the right things, like I'm

288
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.000
always on the go it's fast food, you know. So I found at

289
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.559
the same my stress levels were out
of this world and I didn't realize it.

290
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.839
And I think that's the big thing
that we have to realize an entrepreneurship,

291
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.759
as we're as we're going through any
success honestly climbing any ladder to reach

292
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.880
your goals, your priority of yourself
has to be included on your list.

293
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.759
Because when it's not health as wealth, it doesn't matter if your business is

294
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:14.240
one hundred million dollars if you're not
there to enjoy it. So I had

295
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:22.160
the harsh reality when I felt a
lump and dismissed it, never thought about

296
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.680
it, like I'd never associated with
it, with it being cancer at all.

297
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.480
But I definitely wasn't paying attention to
my body to notice that it existed,

298
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:34.400
and my own detriment because by the
time that I did go to the

299
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:41.119
doctor and was diagnosed, I was
diagnosed at stage two with triple positive highly

300
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.640
aggressive form of cancer. And they
told me that in in literally a month,

301
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.160
I could go from stage two to
stage four. And so that was

302
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.039
honestly like the biggest if God could
ever just you know, hit you over

303
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:56.480
the head with the something to say, sit down and you need to make

304
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.680
some some life decisions. That was
the moment. You know, at the

305
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.880
time, I was thirty one,
so I'm still young. I'm still like

306
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:10.240
just kind of easing into my thirties
and figuring getting life figured out. And

307
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.400
to be hit with something so detrimental, it's life changing. And I'm very

308
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.240
honored, proud, blessed, favored
all the things to be here in front

309
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:25.000
of you today and to say I'm
cancer free. But through that journey,

310
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:30.559
through that process, it taught me
new perspective and to that point, it

311
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.240
helped me to create this wine,
the Sparkling Rose, in particular that not

312
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:41.960
only is dedicated to a nonprofit that
helps women who are dealing single single mothers

313
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:47.559
specifically who are dealing with this type
of diagnosis. But it also helped me

314
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.480
to give more purpose to my wine
because now I want to create joy in

315
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.039
a bottle. I want people to
find their happiness there. That tie in

316
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.000
that I always had about this being
associated with your mom I'm gonna piece it

317
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.680
means something even more to me now
because it's like, those are the moments

318
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.960
we have to take for ourselves now. I don't care if you're drinking wine

319
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:12.799
or drinking water either way, it's
it's more so around the moment that we're

320
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:21.960
creating with this wine. M wow. So doing you know during that period

321
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.920
when you were going through that,
I guess the wine was like a comfort

322
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:34.160
for you. Is that? Yes? It's so funny because when I go

323
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.519
to the to the different doctors and
I and you tell them like, oh,

324
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.400
what do you do? You know, they just make conversation and I'm

325
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:42.720
a wine drinker and they were like, well, you know, you probably

326
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.319
got to pull it back, And
I'm like, that's the one thing that

327
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:51.720
makes me happy. We are not
taking this off the table. I always

328
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.119
have to preface this by saying that
it's not necessarily the most recommended thing,

329
00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:00.799
but it was something I absolutely look
forward to. I don't think that oftentimes

330
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.319
in the marketing of cancer, when
people talk about it, we don't always

331
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:11.920
go into the details of what chemotherapy
is and how harsh it can be on

332
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:18.119
the body. It is a it
is truly a drug, a poison that

333
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:21.920
they put through and it doesn't have
a compass on what's good or bad sales.

334
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.279
It just goes for everything. And
so for me, it was extremely

335
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:32.559
debilitating and for like two weeks,
and I had to do six rounds of

336
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:37.759
chemout every three weeks, and so
typically the first two weeks in that three

337
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.559
week time span you're down and out, and then the last week you have

338
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.240
enough energy and then you gotta go
right back and do it again. So

339
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.119
I say that to say for me, I found so much comfort and tholace

340
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.240
in the moment. I would count
down to the day I could drink wine

341
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.279
again, and that was the thing
to look forward to, because in those

342
00:28:55.319 --> 00:29:00.440
moments when you're when you're in your
darkest spaces and you're looking for that light

343
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.000
at the end of the tunnel,
you have to identify what that is,

344
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.599
and for me, it was wine. For me, it might have been

345
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.000
I would have wine and I would
go out to a really good restaurant and

346
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.440
get some really good food and that's
what I look forward to. So it

347
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.759
brought me peace, it brought me
happiness, It brought me joy, and

348
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.960
that's what saved my life. Just
the anticipation in the actual search, in

349
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:30.559
the actual search and identification of what
brought me happiness. Wow. Now,

350
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:36.240
I know early on you mentioned someone
who kind of helped you as you were

351
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:41.440
getting started. I think they even
let you use the part of their facility

352
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:48.519
to work in. So as an
entrepreneur, do you recommend having a mentor

353
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:56.000
or coach to help you in business? Absolutely? Absolutely. I have had

354
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:02.880
so much fortune in meeting people who
are truly invested in helping the success of

355
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:10.240
this business and just mentorship. And
oftentimes I think when we think about mentorship

356
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.920
we think of it as like a
direct tie, like is it somebody that

357
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:18.119
does exactly what you do? But
you can find mentors in people that have

358
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:23.559
adjacent, you know, industries.
For me, one of my biggest mentors

359
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:29.839
who was really a big inspiration to
getting into this industry is a vodka owner

360
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:34.960
Island John Vodka. Kevin really like
took me under his wing and taught me

361
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:40.839
the ropes of the spirits industry,
and that's you know, that helped me

362
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.480
to understand, Okay, these are
the overall steps and how to navigate this

363
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.680
space from there. Sometimes you find
your mentors and people that don't even know

364
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.559
that you're watching their steps and watching
them. We have to take off the

365
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:59.079
lens or the expectation that mentors have
to be like a one to one direction

366
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:03.200
and it's like a like I'm asking
you formally to be my mentor. Sometimes

367
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.319
that that's a way to do it. There's other ways as well as more

368
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:12.119
informal relationships that you build and you
just follow and you befriend people and you

369
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:18.920
learn you know what they're doing.
So I have mentors several several several mentors

370
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:26.640
that I call upon that are just
women entrepreneurs, women and wine men and

371
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.079
wine men in spirits, men in
business. Like there's I try to find

372
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:37.359
inspiration and mentorship and guidance in anybody
who's in a successful state of where I'm

373
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:42.599
trying to be. Now, do
you see a lot of women who are

374
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:48.279
in this industry? Are is it
more men than women? You know,

375
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:56.000
it's really interesting, I think from
the standpoint globally, there's more men in

376
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.680
this industry, even though women are
main consumers. However, I will say

377
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:05.480
in the African American wine maker space, I've seen a really good blend of

378
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:09.279
it, but I see a very
great amount of Black women that are wine

379
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.480
makers and wine brand makers in the
space, and that brings me a lot

380
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:21.000
of delight to see us as major
consumers, like taking our talents and actually

381
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:25.160
creating the products as well that we
indulge in. Wow. Now is your

382
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.200
product in this area? Like I'm
in Maryland? Can I find it in

383
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:35.559
this area? Do you think coming
soon? Coming soon? We are inching

384
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:39.039
our way up to Maryland. Right
now we're in Georgia, Texas, and

385
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:46.680
Florida, but Maryland the DMV area
that's next on our list. You might

386
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:52.799
see us out there at a wine
festival this fall. So if anybody's heard

387
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.519
of the DC Wine Festival, we
will be there this year. And yeah,

388
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:01.920
we're just continuing to spread, so
definitely come into that area. Wow.

389
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.240
So tell us what's next? What
do you have on the horizon for

390
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.519
you as an entrepreneur? Are you
creating anything else? I know you're doing

391
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.920
the wines, but is there anything
else that you'll be creating. Yes,

392
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:22.200
you know I mentioned and alluded to
this earlier, but this's going through this

393
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:29.319
cancer journey. It really puts like
life into a different perspective. And for

394
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:34.720
me, it really enlightened how much
joy impacts, you know, my health

395
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:38.440
and just me and my overall satisfaction
and happiness with life. And so I

396
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:45.279
am in the process now of becoming
a happiness coach and setting up different coaching

397
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.920
packages to help more people to identify
their joy in their life. We have

398
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.720
joy journals that are coming out,
We have different events that we're doing to

399
00:33:54.839 --> 00:34:01.240
help women, specifically Black women priority
as ourselves find our joy, find our

400
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:07.079
happiness, and lead it more fulfilling
and happier life. Like I it sounds

401
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:12.159
the craziest to say, but I
literally have no bad days every day is

402
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.119
amazing. I literally ten out of
ten on my happiness scale. And people

403
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.800
are like, you just came out
of this. And when I say just

404
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:25.280
came out of this, I just
had my final procedure July twelfth, So

405
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:30.119
this is like we're just inching out
of this, this whole journey that's been

406
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.199
over a year and a half now, and I can't tell you I'm the

407
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.079
happiest I've ever been. And it's
because I've learned these different practices I'm and

408
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.719
these are things that I share with
my family, with my friends, and

409
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.159
now we're building out this community and
so that's the next thing that we're phasing

410
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:52.440
in. Still. So, if
you had one piece of advice that you

411
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:59.039
would uh want to give to someone
that wanted to get into the wine industry

412
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:02.480
of the one business, what would
that piece of advice be. Oh,

413
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:08.480
man, I would actually say to
anybody who's interested in getting into the wine

414
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:16.000
industry, do not be afraid of
the industry. And what I mean by

415
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.559
that is a lot of times we
look and we're like, oh, there's

416
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:24.519
already so many wines, and there's
so many doesn't matter. Be unique.

417
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:29.639
There's no one that's gonna do it
like you. And any time that you

418
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.599
think about any industry, whether it's
it's wine, makeup, whatever the case

419
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.440
may be, bring your personality,
do it with purpose and passion in mind.

420
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:44.159
When you're leading with a with a
energy and with a sense of servitude,

421
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.320
it always comes back. So leave
and find it with passion and purpose

422
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.920
and it will always like the money
will find you, the success will find

423
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:57.760
you. But don't be afraid just
because the industry is saturated so you think

424
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:02.039
no one's gonna do it like you. Absolutely so, if the viewers and

425
