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

Hi Ketressa, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I live by the scripture Habakkuk 2:3

This scripture reminds me to always have a clear vision of my goals and dreams, and to trust in God’s timing. Even if it seems like my vision is taking longer to come to fruition, I must be patient and continue to work towards it. I believe that with faith and perseverance, my vision will become a reality.

I have also created a strong team of individuals who are passionate about the vision and are dedicated to seeing it through. By empowering my team and providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed, I am confident that we will be able to overcome any obstacles that come our way.

Additionally, I have developed a solid business plan and have conducted thorough market research to ensure that our product or service meets the needs of our target audience. By staying informed about industry trends and constantly seeking feedback from customers, we can adapt and evolve our business to stay ahead of the competition.

Overall, while the entrepreneur path may be challenging, I am confident in our ability to succeed. With a clear vision, a strong team, and a solid business plan, we are well-equipped to overcome any obstacles and achieve our goals.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
It’s truly a testament to our resilience and adaptability as a business to not only make it through Covid19 but to survive as a small black business without government assistance. Navigating through such a challenging time and coming out stronger on the other side further solidified our ability to pivot and innovate in the face of adversity.

I have reached where I am today in my business through hard work, determination, and a willingness to learn and adapt. It has not been easy, as I have faced numerous challenges along the way. However, I have overcome these challenges by staying focused on my goals, seeking advice and mentorship from experienced professionals, and being open to making changes when necessary.

Some of the key lessons I have learned on my journey include the importance of perseverance, the value of building strong relationships with customers and partners, and the need to constantly innovate and evolve in order to stay competitive in the market.

I want the world to know that my brand is built on a foundation of integrity, quality, and customer satisfaction. I am committed to providing the best products and services possible, and I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of my customers and the community. My story is one of hard work, passion, and dedication, and I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams and never give up on their goals.

We have also expanded our services to include event planning, public relations, and marketing strategies for our corporate clients. Our team of experienced professionals works tirelessly to ensure that each client receives personalized attention and top-notch service. We are proud to have built a reputation for excellence in the industry and look forward to continuing to serve clients such as NBA Draft Division, Nike, Ole Miss School of Law, Fitzgeralds Casino, Goldstrick Casino, Fed-Ex, City of Memphis Mayor’s Office and Human Resources Division and many more, as we continue to provide them and upcoming Corporate clients with the same passion and determination that has brought us this far.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
After brunch, we would spend the afternoon exploring Beale Street and checking out some live music at one of the many bars and clubs in the area. The next day, we would take a tour of some of Memphis’s famous landmarks, such as Graceland, Sun Studio, and the National Civil Rights Museum. We would also make sure to stop by some of the city’s best barbecue joints for lunch.
That Saturday we would head back to The Luxe Lounge Annual Let It Burn Cigar Festival. The festival would feature a variety of premium cigars, live music, and delicious food and drinks. We would spend the day enjoying the festivities and chatting with other cigar enthusiasts.
Overall, I think my friends would have a fantastic time visiting Memphis especially during our annual cigar festival. It would be a perfect mix of good food, great music, and of course, plenty of cigars to enjoy.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
To my husband Terrence, my rock, support and foundation on which our union both marital and business is built on. We are committed to working hard, making sacrifices, and building a strong foundation for our family’s future. We want to create a legacy of success, love, and unity that will allow our family to continue to thrive for years to come. Thank you for being my partner in this journey, and for always supporting and believing in our dreams. Together, we can achieve anything and leave a lasting impact on our family for generations to come through generational wealth. I love you all more than words can express.
