In today’s episode, we meet Jasmin Foster, the founder, and owner of Be Rooted, an inclusively designed stationery brand created to uplift and celebrate women of color. After years of working in retail, Jasmin saw a gap in the multicultural stationary market and decided to fill the gap herself.

During our conversation, Jasmin and I talk about what goes into turning an idea into a product in order to get it on the shelves of big-name retailers like Target. Jasmin also shares how she leveraged her network to navigate the first steps of building Be Rooted, the media strategy behind increasing brand awareness and the upfront investment, as well as how she found buyers and got their attention.
