We were lucky to catch up with LaShika & Christal Floyd recently and have shared our conversation below.

LaShika & Christal, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?

The name says it all! Divine Libations divinely came about in every sense of the word. Our journey began many moons ago when our dad, affectionately known as “Buddy”, developed a homemaking wine hobby that he passed down to us. Later, In March 2020, when all of our world’s were drastically changing, my sister and I started pondering what we could do to sustain what we learned from our dad and create generational wealth. It didn’t take long for our ancestors and our intuition to speak to us on a full moon. So naturally, the naming of our product reflected our vibe and process for arriving here. Now that we’ve covered the “Divine”, allow us to introduce you to the meaning behind libation. A libation is an intentional act of paying homage to your ancestors and aligning with them by making a drink offering.

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?

We think that your audience can agree that most adults are looking to unwind and have a good time. Divine Libations is a conversation piece, whether it be with friends, your loved ones, hosting a private party or in the privacy of your self care moment. Whatever it is , our wine gives you the intention you desire. Furthermore, we desire to create sustainable partnerships that empower our clients to start their own homemade wine business. We are proud that our brand sets the trend for making quality homemade wine fly, accessible to our community, and reputable to our name. When Divine Libations sippers are asked which flavor they enjoy most, the response is overwhelmingly “Allum!” (All of them)

Can you talk to us about manufacturing? How’d you figure it all out? We’d love to hear the story.

Our premium wine is manufactured right in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. Before the weeks-long process of turning water into wine, we are intentional about charging our water under the moon as each moon cycle brings on a new energy. Once fermentation is complete, we curate the vibe by adding meaningful crystals such as crystal quartz and rose quartz. We taste and tweak along the way to master that premium taste that our customers keep coming back for. We offer red and white blends for different palates. We are also very proud of our wellness line that features flavors of hibiscus, rose, and elderberry along with other healing herbs that help you unwind and tap into your intended vibe.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

An entrepreneurial mindset is not easily accessible in our community. This current system taught us to work hard doing linear tasks with respect to an authority besides ourselves. Due to this phenomena, our people have developed a “lack mindset” where it is normalized to be told what hours to work, how much you will get paid, and how you will be promoted. This limits our potential and prevents us from having an “abundance mindset”. In this new way of thinking, we discovered that creativity is limitless, and our value is determined by how hard we work for our own mission and not someone else’s.
