Today we’d like to introduce you to Jackie B..
Hi Jackie, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Ever since I was young, I always dreamed of owning a business — I just didn’t know exactly what that would look like yet. Over the years, I gained valuable experience working in local shops and learning firsthand what it takes to run a successful small business.
In the spring of 2025, I finally took the leap and started Radiant Belle & Co., where I began creating handmade products like bath salts, cleansers, trucker hats, and more. Not long after, I had the opportunity to open a small booth inside a local shop, where I spent a little over a year growing my brand and connecting with the community.
During that time, I also created Radiant Roots Collective. RR Collective is so much more than just a market — it’s about community, supporting fellow small businesses, and growing together. Through these pop-ups, I’ve had the privilege of watching small businesses flourish, but even more special, I’ve watched many vendors become close friends.
Radiant Roots Collective truly makes my heart happy. Seeing the joy, support, and encouragement shared after every pop-up reminds me exactly why I started. I’m beyond thankful for the opportunity to help small businesses grow, and I feel incredibly blessed to have such an amazing community supporting RR Collective along the way.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like anything there are challenges. A huge one for me was financially. Just got married, then had a baby a yr later after getting married and then my husband had lost his job and was seeking another job. During that time my husband had allowed me to stay at home with our son so the months leading up to having a baby and then wanting to have my own business was difficult because I knew that to start a business you do need money. We got through it though, my husband now has his own successful business, and he has been a huge supporter from the beginning. Insane to say but I am grateful for challenges. All I’ve been through the past year has grown me in so many ways but in the BEST way.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Radiant Roots Collective?
Radiant Belle & Co. began as a passion for creating products that help women feel confident, cared for, and radiant from the inside out. What started with handmade bath salts and self-care products has grown into a brand centered around beauty, wellness, creativity, and community. We specialize in handcrafted wellness and lifestyle products, curated pop-up experiences, and creating spaces where women and small businesses feel encouraged and supported.
One thing that sets our brand apart is the heart behind it. Everything we create is intentional — from our handmade products to the events we host. We want people to feel welcomed, inspired, and connected when they interact with our brand. We are especially passionate about supporting fellow small businesses and creating opportunities for them to grow and be seen.
That passion led to the creation of Radiant Roots Collective, a community-focused pop-up collective designed to bring local businesses together in a supportive and uplifting environment. RR Collective is more than just a market — it’s a place where connections are built, friendships are formed, and small businesses are encouraged to thrive together instead of compete. Watching vendors gain confidence, grow their customer base, and support one another has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.
As a brand, what we are most proud of is the community we’ve built. Seeing people come together to shop local, support each other, and celebrate small business success is something truly special. We want readers to know that our mission goes beyond products or events — it’s about creating meaningful experiences, empowering other entrepreneurs, and building something rooted in authenticity, encouragement, and growth.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Go after your dreams! If an opportunity pops up for you, go for it and see where it leads you. Don’t be afraid of failing. Get up and try again.
