Fearless Creation: The Lucille Bishop Smith Story with Dr. Felecia Froe

What happens when a woman turns flour, fire, and fearless vision into a legacy?

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of Lucille Bishop Smith. A culinary genius, fearless entrepreneur, and one of the earliest branding queens of her time, Lucille turned a simple hot roll mix into a multi-generational movement.

She didn’t just bake. She built.  She taught at HBCUs, created multiple streams of income, and left behind a blueprint for ownership, legacy, and wealth creation.

Lucille’s story is more than inspiring. It’s instructive. Because wealth isn’t just earned but built with vision, strategy, and the courage to own your brilliance.

So if you’ve been sitting on an idea, wondering if it’s worth pursuing, this episode is your reminder. Yes, it is. And your legacy is waiting.
