Today we’d like to introduce you to Brasmyne Holmes.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I remember always being in the kitchen with my mom, grandmothers, and aunts as a kid. I was so curious about food and cooking. There was just something so magical about the way that food brought the family together. Growing up as a teen, I stay glued to the tv watching cooking shows, and I even started cooking dinner for my family on my own. You couldn’t tell me nothing back then!
As an adult, I began to reflect on what contributions I was going to make to my community. How would I attempt to build generational wealth for my family? Then, I thought about those memories of growing up in the kitchen and decided that I wanted to impact the way that people experienced cooking.
I created Tiger Life Gourmet Seasonings to not only share my family’s style of cooking with everyone but to also make cooking easier. My seasoning blends remove the guesswork out of seasoning food. There’s no need to fumble around in the pantry looking for the right combination of spices. All of my blends contain the perfect balance of salt, herbs, and spices to create delicious meals your family will love.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It took me a long time to launch Tiger Life Gourmet because I was so focused on perfecting every little detail of my business before launching. Obtaining all of the proper licensing, insurance, and certifications was definitely a journey. I am forever grateful for all of the business mentors who have helped me along the way.
I finally took a leap of faith and launched my brand back on International Women’s Day in 2020. I entered into a mindset of start now, and perfect later. I knew that I had a great product that people would love, I just needed to get it into their hands.
Now, I have a fan base of loyal customers I call “The Hellcats!” They’re a group of bad-a$$ home cooks who throw down in the kitchen! They inspire me to keep pushing every single day. My only hope is that I can inspire another young person, who looks like me, to follow their dreams.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Tiger Life Gourmet?
I’m just a Southern girl with a dream to help people create gourmet meals in the comfort of their own homes.
Many people ask me how I came up with the name Tiger Life Gourmet. Tiger Life was a phrase that I came up with years ago. I always felt that it embodied who I am as a person. And, that just came from my love of tigers to be honest. Tigers are rare, fierce, bold, and beautiful, but if you get too close, they will pounce on you! That truly translates to my seasoning blends as well. I have bold & beautiful packaging, rare seasoning blend options, and the entire vibe of my brand is fierce. When you’re cooking with my blends, I want you to feel fierce and unstoppable in the kitchen because you know your meal is going to turn out delicious every…single….time! At the end of the day, you know you’re getting a bomb a$$ home cooked meal when it’s made with Tiger Life Gourmet.
What makes you happy?
It may sound cliché, but spending time with my family makes me happy.
My husband is the most kind and nurturing person I’ve ever met. He pushes me to be the best version of myself. My younger brother is so intelligent, but sarcastic at the same time. He keeps everyone on their toes with his witty remarks. My older brother is charismatic and resourceful. He’s the person we call if we need help getting out of a sticky situation. My dad is a goofball. He’s always cracking jokes, pulling pranks, and putting a smile on everyone’s face. My mom is the glue that holds us all together. She keeps it real and will go out of her way to support us in everything that we do. And of course, she is the GOAT in the kitchen!
I look forward to every birthday, holiday, and special occasion so we can all link up. Family is the most important thing in my life. We may not have it all together, but together, we have it all.
