Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to India Lee. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
India , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
In 2021 I wanted to write my life story, but I did not want to publish it on a platform that would not fully represent me, my story and my vision. my mentor Gerita Cook has her own publishing company and Magazine. She inspired me and gave me the idea to start my own Publishing company. At the time me and my Fiancé Toderick Fitzpatrick Jr. who has since passed away, had already founded a record label called CSB records a record label and a publishing company would go hand in hand. Once the publishing company was created which I named CSB Publishing company my book called To Thy Ownself Be True: A Boss Chic’s Memoir’s from the Cradle to the Crawl was written and published through my publishing company. With the success of my first book and the loss of my Fiancé I was inspired by my mentor Gerita Cook to create my own magazine company in which I called Urban beat Magazine our mission is to Empower our authors to Publish their Dreams. At CSB Publishing, we publish a large number of books and magazines each year in a wide variety of genres. We pride ourselves on the number of first-time authors and entrepreneurs we publish and produce we are also thrilled that so many of our discoveries have become household names. With our size and experience, we have the tools necessary for writers, authors and entrepreneurs to thrive in today’s competitive publishing world. These stellar credentials is why so many writers, authors and entrepreneurs choose to work with us. CSB Publishing company has published content within such platforms as Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble, Google play and Kobo, and we look forward to working with other brand companies.
Building a legacy to later leave to my daughter Zion Fitzpatrick has been one of my strongest assets. After my publishing company and magazine was created I ventured out into the health industry and created a cream that helps shed weight as well as tone the body called ShedItFast fat eraser cream. I wanted to create a cream that all could use, that was also affordable to all. Since my creation ShedItFast has become a household name.
