Another Chanel Worth Knowing
On the last Industry Night …
So I haven’t seen today’s guest in a bit but we do go way back. Years ago on F&TB Chanel Turner came on to talk about Fou-Dre Vodka — she was just 25 and at the time was the youngest black woman to own and operate her own spirit company. She was a FORCE. And here’s the thing about Chanel — she has not slowed down. She then created Global Alliance Distribution - the leading boutique distributor for Craft, Artisanal Wine and Spirit brands in the D.C Metropolitan area. And then because that was just not enough Chanel launched BOWSFEST — The 7th Annual Black Owned Wine & Spirits Festival (BOWSFest) — the largest gathering of its kind across the DMV. It will take place on Saturday, September 30 and we have a lot to catch up on.
