We had the good fortune of connecting with LaKisha Calvin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi LaKisha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was how can I help others with their health. How can I contribute to my community, How can I help my children be the best them and how can I show them that having your own business is the best thing ever.

What should our readers know about your business?
My name is LaKisha Calvin and I’m an herbalist, I study herbs and I feel herbs can heal anything you just have to find the right herb. What sets me part is it’s in my blood, I come from a line of herbalist well they didn’t call them self herbalist they just called them selfs helping the family. I’m so proud of my self for getting out of my shell and really starting my business because I’m really a shy person. I had to tell my self to get out of my shell and really talk to people a lot more. I was already in the public eye talking to people because of my husband and him owning his own business but it was different when I started mines people are coming for just me. It got easier over time and now I love every thing about it. It took some time to get to where I’m at now because of not knowing where to start and looking for products that I can trust and would take my self because I will not want to sell something I will not take or give to my family. I had to lean that there are people out there that don’t want to see you be successful and that you have to teach your self that every day is not going to be good you will have your bad days too but you can’t stay with that you have to pray and think about how you are going to be a better you. I want the world to know that I’m here to help who ever wants to be helped and that I will continue to be the best herbalist I can be and the best person I can be to not only make my self and my family proud but make my grandma proud. So please come check out everything we have to offer and see if I can help you with anything even if your not looking for something for your health, needing someone to talk to or need some girl talk I’m here.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite things to do in my city (Victorville) is hiking I love to hike I would say my favorite place is the mountains Wrightwood and Crestline. Followed by going to get some sushi at my favorite restaurant called Yoshi Japanese cuisine, and end the night by getting some mini pancakes from the pancakes plug.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate my story to my grandma. She is the reason why I started my business, I saw how much pain she was in and I always wish I could do something to help her not be in pain.
