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

Hi Kerensa, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
Prioritizing self care has been an important decision that has contributed to my success as an entrepreneur. Taking the time to pause, breathe and self reflect  gave me the opportunity to align with my BODY, MIND, and SOUL.  It’s so important that we take care of ourselves so that we can better serve others. Launching K’Essential Blends in 2020 in the midst of a pandemic not only helped me to tap into a journey of wellness, it provided many throughout the community the opportunity to curate an atmosphere to relax, reset and rejuvenate. Our lifestyle wellness brand is not only dedicated to promoting optimum mental health, and mindful living it is a community that equips one to thrive.

God has played a fundamental role both in my career and entrepreneurship journey, my faith based practices, has granted me wisdom to serve in various capacities and the strategy to curate a growing and diverse wellness brand.  Through my entrepreneurship journey the power of networking has connected me with various small business organizations that helped our brand to pivot such: Shopify, Build Black Market, Brooklyn Commons, and Queen’s chambers of commerce.
