We had the good fortune of connecting with Sonja Beauchamp, MBA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sonja, we’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
I’ve learned To Keep Pushing Forward. All the while, taking my new learned knowledge with me to the next level. Failure is to be expected when you are striving to achieve anything. However, it is your passion that will make you stand tall and use your failures as stepping stones.

What should our readers know about your business?
Love Bananas Popsicles was created with simplicity in mind. Good wholesome organic ingredients, that are vegan, and low-calorie. These popsicles are creamy and banana based, making them good for anytime of the day. I spent alot of days eating my mom’s frozen creations and now I create them for the world. The world should know my brand sends positive vibes and love to everyone and I truly ❤ my customers. It is my customer’s appetite and demand for my unique products that keep my business relevant.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I enjoy the Dallas-Fort-Worth area, its has a plethora of things to do such as: Art Gallerys, Taking a stroll through downtown Dallas/Fort Worth, or Going to local Farmer’s Markets and buying local. I’m located this season at the White Rock Lake Farmers Market, the local vendors are full of all kinds of awesomeness. The Lakewood Farmer’s Market is another must see in the Dallas area. Whatever you choose, don’t forget your local small businesses.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have had plenty of help along the way with starting my business and keeping it going. These businesses I also support because they are 100% Women Minority Owned Businesses, just like Love Bananas Popsicles. They work hard in their communities to bring reliable quality goods and services.
