MICHELE HOSKINS
Owner and Founder of Michele Foods To be keynote Speaker for the Loving From the Inside Out "Women Of Courage" awards luncheon!
Twenty-Five years ago, a divorced ex-school teacher had children to support, a family secret and a dream. Michele Hoskins’ determination to “leave her daughters a business instead of just a recipe" was the inspiration for Michele Foods.
The foundation of Michele Foods is a secret syrup recipe handed down to daughters from a great-great-grandmother.
Today she sells Honey Crème, Butter Pecan, and Maple Crème syrups that “are found in over 10,000 food stores nationwide.
In 2003 Michele purchased a “State of the Art” manufacturing company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Michele Foods Manufacturing is an 8 (a) certified female minority owned and operated company. They manufacture a wide variety of syrups and other liquid products. They also have a wide range of food service accounts.
Twenty-Five years ago it was unknown for an African American woman to be the CEO of a major food company. That’s why the first thing I tell people is to invest in yourself, she adds, “if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will. I invested the capital I made from selling virtually everything I had. I never had any bank loans or investors, only one small line of credit when I started in October 1984. I learned how to live off receivables early on.”
“I put God first. I believe that anything can manifest itself with faith, hard work and perseverance. So never give up.” Hoskins adds: As soon as you give up, the dream is gone. A dream is something that unfolds to you as you work it. Whatever happens, look at it from a very positive and spiritual way.”
Michele has achieved much success through her 25 years in the business. Michele’s most current recognition includes feature articles in Black Enterprises, Ebony, Essence, People, Fortune Magazines and USA Today. However, by far, Michele is most excited about completing her book “Sweet Expectations”.
During 2007, Michele was featured on several TV and Radio “talk- shows” such as Montel Williams, Donnie Duersch, and Michael Baisden. Additional highlights include, Michele being featured on the CNN TV Morning Show and “Personal Journey” aired Michele’s story on both CNN and Discovery channels. She has been featured three times on Oprah Winfrey’s Show and on all major news channels, i.e., WGN, NBC (5), ABC (7), Fox News, Black Entertainment Television (BET).
