We recently connected with Britney Powell and have shared our conversation below.
Britney, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I began curating my brand in 2018 and where Miss Bee’s Foodie Recipes, LLC was born. I fell in love with cooking and all aspects related to it at a very young age. I have always been around culinary experiences with my many family members. My father also played a major role in me curating my brand to the next level, He was an amazing and self-taught cook and baker. He was well known for his sweet potato pies and delicious German Chocolate Cake. But in October 2019, tragedy struck when my father developed Stage 4 cancers. He transitioned on October 28, 2019.
After losing him I completely lost all enthusiasm for life and my brand. That’s when he finally visited me in my dreams, and I received TOTAL confirmation that I should continue developing my brand. After that night, I realized I must keep pushing because this was a God-given talent. I then began the daunting task of rebranding Miss Bee’s Foodie Recipes. I found myself falling in love with my craft all over again, I then realized that this indeed was my purpose. I know that anytime anyone tastes my food, uses any of my custom blended seasoning, or imported infused olive oils they taste love as my number #1 ingredient. I am reassured that my losses, trials and tribulations were not in vain. Miss Bee’s Foodie Recipes was born from love, blood, sweat, tears and many sleepless nights. and dishes.
I pray that when consumers see my brand they see the dedication, effort and love put into each item they purchase.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I am a 36 year old self-taught chef and CEO of Miss Bee’s Foodie Recipes, LLC. I began curating my brand in 2018 and where Miss Bee’s Foodie Recipes, LLC was born. I fell in love with cooking and all aspects related to it at a very young age. I have over 10 premium quality custom blended seasonings, Italy imported Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oils, and Modena Balsamic Vinaigrettes. I am able to take the guessing work out of how to season your meat or vegetables with. You no longer have to wonder how do I layer flavors into my meals. I advise my clients on what seasonings and EVOO’s would pair well with a particular meat, vegetable or meal of their choice.
I want my supporters to know that I stand by my brand, whole heartedly. This was just an overnight idea or a way to make quick money, I had been working on the custom blended seasonings since July of 2020. Traveling to different vendors, ordering samples, having them tested chemically to ensure the highest quality. I have reviewed the shelf life, best containers, bottles, and durability of my products. So please know that my items embody tender, love and care.
I am so proud of my resilience and ability to move forward in the midst of death, a pandemic and just life. I never lost sight of the vision for my brand. I am still very hands on with all aspects of Miss Bee’s Foodie Recipes, LLC. When you see each bottle, know that they were hand labeled, hand poured and packaged by me with love, honor, care. I appreciate everyone who shops with my brand, reposts content, sends words of encouragement or just shares it with others to expand my territory.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
The books that have assisted in my development growth has been: “Manifest Now” by Idle Ahmed, “Affirmations for Black Women” by Naomi Ray, “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene, “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz and “Ask and It is Given” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. These books assisted in reconstructing my entire thought process regarding both life and business. I found that the variation of books assisted in me being able to balance my career, brand and LIFE without getting completely overwhelmed. I hope these books assist in navigating you to help build a better you and your brand.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
After my father passed away suddenly in October 2019. I had lost all zeal for everything! My father visited me in a dream and told me how proud he was of me and the progress of my brand. He gave me the reassurance I needed to continue with not only my business journey but with life itself. This led to me rebranding, researching, endless brainstorming and restructuring my entire thought process. My father’s untimely passing gave me a resilience I never knew existed, and for that I am forever grateful.
