Exploring Life & Business with Lakesha Foreman of The Blackstorm Brand

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lakesha Foreman.

Hi Lakesha, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I’ve been making my own moves when it comes to entrepreneurship since 2003. From wedding photography, medical biller, A trucking company named after my son Shai-YI to running an online clothing boutique called BlackStorm Clothing.

As I got older, I felt it was my responsibility to spread love, uplift and encourage self-love throughout my community

with my products, changing the name of my company from BlackStorm Clothing to The BlackStorm Brand LLC. in 2015 creating self-love clothing and essential oils.

Fast forward right before Covid, I came across a motivational speaking and he said you need to do something that no one else is doing or is in high demand. So I honestly started searching woman-owned/minority-owned wine and spirit brands and at the time, there were only 2 or 3, which made me more excited to find out more. I found a distillery that would distill my Vodka located in Jacksonville, Florida. Six months later, BlackStorm Ultra Premium Vodka was born. I’ve also become a distributor in California to self-distribute my own vodka.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
You would think it would have been since Vodka is predominantly owned by men. But due to Covid, it allowed me to perfect my marketing skills and locate numerous buyers. So no obstacles or challenges.
