As I sit here reflecting on 2024, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and awe for everything this year has brought. What a journey it has been! Every milestone, every challenge, and every victory has reminded me of God’s hand in my life and business. This year wasn’t just about achieving goals—it was about stepping into the fullness of His purpose for me and being reminded that with God, all things truly are possible.
A Year of Incredible Highlights
We started the year with a bang and kept the momentum going all the way through. HER Wine expanded its reach, influence, and impact in ways that I could have only dreamed of. Some highlights include:
Stepping into the Spotlight: I had the honor of appearing on the Kelly Clarkson Show and The Portia Show on Fox 5, sharing my journey and the story behind HER Wine. I even joined Majic 107.5 with Reece to spread the word about the power of self-care and empowerment through HER Wine.
Expanding Our Reach: HER Wine is now sold in over 40 states! We celebrated major sellouts at the Chicago Wine Fest and the Cincinnati Wine Fest, where the love for our brand left me speechless.
Partnerships That Matter: We expanded into Total Wine, partnered with the iconic Sugar Factory to feature our rosé, collaborated with the Atlanta Braves, and joined forces with the Museum of Illusions to create unforgettable experiences.
Celebrating Excellence: At Petite Noir, we celebrated excellence in entrepreneurship, education, and media, honoring trailblazers who inspire us all.
Empowering Women: We hosted 12 HER Time Away retreats—sacred spaces for women to unwind, recharge, and reclaim their power. And our Black Girls Day Off event, sponsored by Kroger, had its largest turnout yet!
New Experiences and Community Recognition: I was named one of Atlanta’s 50 Most Powerful Women and received the Dream Catchers Community Award from the Urban League.
A Personal Highlight: Napa Valley & Engagement JoyOne of the most profound moments of the year was traveling to Napa Valley to meet with the prestigious Black Vintners Organization. To learn from and connect with others who share a passion for wine and representation was beyond inspiring—it was a reminder that we are creating a legacy.
And then, the year was crowned with love. I said “Yes!” to the love of my life, my partner in faith, and my biggest cheerleader. Getting engaged was a moment of pure joy and a testament to God’s divine timing.
A Heart of Gratitude
Every accomplishment, every open door, and every opportunity was a blessing from above. This year reminded me that nothing happens without God’s grace and guidance. It also reminded me of the importance of community—the women, supporters, and partners who have poured into HER Wine and helped us reach new heights.
To everyone who sipped, supported, prayed, and cheered us on this year: Thank you. You are part of this journey, and I am forever grateful.
Looking Ahead
As we step into 2025, I’m holding tight to God’s promise of ease and abundance. I can’t wait to share what’s ahead, but for now, I want to bask in the blessings of this year and celebrate the community we’ve built together.
Here’s to the next chapter of growth, grace, and gratitude. Cheers to you, to us, and to the God who makes it all possible.
With love and gratitude,
Dr.Nicole Anderson
