Tell us about yourself

Since I look at this business as a lifestyle with the inclusion of helping others naturally heal from various "diseases," I begin working on this business while serving an 18-year federal prison sentence. While in prison, I became a raw plant-based foodist, natural and holistic nutritionist, and horticulturist. This led me to the study of physiology and herbology because, to me, they are all tied together. Therefore, I began to practice reversing various ailments of other inmates with wild herbs that grew on the prison compounds and fruits. Once I reversed six diabetics, I knew I had to continue helping heal my people once I was released from prison. In the year 2020, a good friend of mine that I met in prison gave me the idea of starting a botanical company once I'm free. Due to his experience, he helped form a vision of me actually creating and manufacturing herbal supplements. That same year I was released. Within that same year, I formulated Nuru Botanicals. Helping others achieve their health goals and being a contributor to reversing diseases for others is my motivation. The fact of knowing my purpose as a healer is my biggest motivation.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Being able to create an effective detox program for people without compromising my integrity and principles.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

As an online store, keeping the current website updates and promotional campaigns.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Create a business that has something or somehow to do with your God-given purpose in life.
Have a business where you can honestly say, "I do what I love, and I love what I do."
Whether you are providing a product or service, make sure you are adding value to people's lives.
