Today we’d like to introduce you to Larisha Childress
Hi Larisha, 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?
I am Larisha, a Nashville, TN native who grew up in Murfreesboro, TN. I am a dedicated mother of three children and a skilled nurse. Additionally, I am the proud owner of TLK charcuterie LLC. As a highly driven nurse and business owner, I am excited to share the narrative of TLK Charcuterie LLC. With almost two decades of experience in the medical field, I have honed my abilities and developed a strong commitment to my work. My journey began as a CNA in 2005, and I later went on to obtain my nursing license, actively working in the field for the past five years. My introduction to charcuterie occurred during a travel assignment in New York in 2022, which inspired me to create boards as a hobby. The positive feedback I received on social media encouraged me to turn my passion into a business. The name TLK Charcuterie LLC is a tribute to my three children, whose names serve as the inspiration for the brand: (T) TaRicco, (L) LaNaiya, and (K) Kaishaun.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As a single mother and entrepreneur, I am met with various challenges, including financial constraints, managing multiple responsibilities, and maintaining a healthy family life. Despite my unwavering dedication to my business, the initial stages proved arduous, and I was forced to temporarily discontinue operations due to lack of profitability. Struggling to invest in both my business and family, I faced self-doubt and uncertainty. Moreover, the increased working hours to support both my family and business took a toll on me, causing me to question my ability to strike a balance. Nonetheless, I hold steadfast to my faith in God, believing that his plan for my life exceeds my own expectations.
