We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Rickeya Tatum a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Rickeya, 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 of my company is called B. Tatum consulting LLC. The original name would have been Tatums incorporated LLC, but with my company being a small business, I was unable to use any language of incorporated, foundation, etc. My goal is generate a family legacy as well as generational wealth.

Resources include; residential and facility placement, durable medical equipment resources, home supply needs, Rehabilitation placement, community referrals: meals on wheels, caregiver services, mobile physicians, etc.

Does your business have multiple or supplementary revenue streams (like a ATM machine at a barbershop, etc)?
B. Tatum consulting just opened up a shop catered to all things mental health. T- shirts, sweatshirts, journal’s, calendars, candles, totes, backpacks, digital planner for therapist and counselors and self healing journal’s.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
The biggest lesson I have to unlearn would be that, if your business failes does not mean you are a failure. it is okay if your business ideas fail, circle back around to the drawing board, execute a new plan, and move forward.
