On The Mic with Sam Sylk

Sam Sylk sits down with Deairra Brewer, CEO of Ohio-based, Black woman-owned Tailor Made Herbal Products, to talk about how her sea moss business unexpectedly took off during the pandemic—from making jars at home to opening a storefront and building a wide range of herbal supplements.  They discuss holistic living, family health habits, balancing business and home, working with family, and the challenges of dealing with the FDA, insurance, imports, and tariffs. Tune In for the rest!
