We were lucky to catch up with Cortney Roberts recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Cortney, thanks for joining us today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

On my life’s journey of continuous learning and growth, I strive to evolve not only in knowledge and experience but also in character and impact. I hope to leave a legacy that embodies determination, philanthropy, faith, laughter, and love. These are values that shape my every step and decision.

Determination fuels my ambition, pushing me forward even when obstacles arise. It reminds me that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones toward success. Philanthropy reflects my deep belief in giving back, knowing that true fulfillment comes from uplifting others and making a meaningful difference in the world. Faith provides me with strength, clarity, and resilience, guiding me through uncertainty with trust in a greater purpose. Laughter reminds me to embrace joy, even in difficult moments, and to appreciate life’s beautiful imperfections. And above all, love, for myself, for others, and for the journey itself remains the foundation of everything I do.

These attributes are essential to me because they are the tools I rely on to navigate life’s highs and lows. No matter the trials I experience, they keep me grounded, focused, and moving toward the goals I have set for myself. My hope is that through my actions and the way I live, I inspire others to embrace their own journeys with courage, kindness, and an unwavering belief in their own potential.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

From a young age, I have always had a creative spirit and a deep love for the arts—whether it was drawing, singing, or crafting, I was certain I would pursue a career in a creative field. However, a pivotal moment changed my path. When I was given the task of helping my young cousin with his homework, I discovered a new passion: teaching and empowering others through learning. That experience ignited a lifelong commitment to education, leading me to a fulfilling career serving students and their families.

Beyond education, my entrepreneurial spirit drove me to explore new opportunities. I founded a consulting business dedicated to providing professional services to educational and nonprofit organizations, helping them achieve their goals with strategic guidance and support. Additionally, I launched V.I.B.E. (Very Intelligent, Black & Excellent) Aroma Studio, a body and home fragrance business focused on wellness and self-care.

What I am most proud of in both of my business ventures is the ability to blend creativity with purpose. Whether I am consulting organizations or crafting unique fragrance experiences, my primary focus is always service and quality. My goal is for every client and customer to feel my passion and dedication in every interaction, ensuring that they not only receive a product or service but also an experience that uplifts, inspires, and supports their journey.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

In my experience, building a customer base has been a dynamic process, primarily driven by a blend of word-of-mouth referrals and social media engagement. Word-of-mouth has been incredibly powerful, as satisfied clients and customers naturally share their positive experiences with friends, family, and colleagues, leading to organic growth and a strong sense of community around my brand.

At the same time, social media has played a crucial role in expanding my reach and connecting with a broader audience. Through engaging posts and direct interactions with followers, I’ve been able to showcase my products and services in an authentic way. Platforms like Instagram and Facebook is not only helping me attract new customers but have also has encouraged me to think of how to foster deeper relationships with my existing audience.

This combination of personal recommendations and digital presence has been instrumental in growing my business, allowing me to maintain trust, authenticity, and a loyal customer base.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

Balancing two businesses while working a full-time job comes with its challenges, and one of the most significant is building and maintaining a strong, trustworthy reputation. With multiple responsibilities, it’s essential that every client and customer interaction reflects my dedication to excellence, professionalism, and consistency.

Thus far, I have found success in reputation-building by prioritizing consistency, responsiveness, and quality. I make it a priority to engage with clients and customers in a meaningful way, ensuring that they feel heard, valued, and supported. Being highly responsive—whether through timely communication, addressing concerns, or providing personalized service—has been a key factor in fostering trust and long-term relationships.

Above all, I hold myself to a high standard of delivering continuous quality outcomes. Whether it’s through my consulting services or my fragrance business, I am committed to maintaining integrity in everything I do. My goal is for every interaction, product, or service to reflect my passion, expertise, and commitment to excellence, ultimately reinforcing a reputation that customers and clients can rely on with confidence.
