Aamira Garba on LoveLee Wines, Motherhood, and Purpose | How I Got Here

🎙️ How I Got Here with Dreena Whitfield Guest: ‪@aamiraw‬ Founder of LoveLee Wines In this episode, Dreena sits down with Aamira Garba, the creator of LoveLee Wines, to talk about the spark that changed her life on a New Jersey train, the courage it took to enter an industry with so few Black women, and the discipline she pours into every bottle. Aamira shares how she blended her first wines without a license, built slowly and intentionally while raising two daughters, and found her purpose in an unexpected place. From her earliest blends to landing on VinePair’s Top 25 Pinot Noirs in the World, this conversation reveals the quiet strength behind her journey. This story is about faith, legacy, and choosing yourself even when the blueprint doesn’t exist. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:30 The Journey Begins: Discovering Wine 03:06 Bootlegging and Early Challenges 03:43 Balancing Life and Business 05:29 The Train Ride That Shifted Everything 07:54 Why Not Me 09:47 Naming LoveLee 11:47 Self-Funding While Raising Kids 15:49 Claiming Space as a Black Woman Winemaker 17:52 Breaking Stereotypes and Celebrating Success 20:48 Challenges Within the Wine Industry 21:19 Navigating the Three-Tier System 22:48 Building Relationships and Wine Sales 24:16 Finding the Right Vineyard Partner 26:22 Inside the Winemaking Process 27:31 Staying Grounded and Inspired 29:37 Protecting the Craft 31:00 Legacy for Her Daughters 33:03 Recognition and Self-Acceptance 35:20 Quick Fire Questions 🔗 Connect & Watch More 🎧 Listen to the full episode → https://feeds.transistor.fm/how-i-got... 📺 Subscribe for new episodes →    / @howigotherewithdreenawhitfield   📰 Extended stories and behind-the-scenes → https://howigotherewdreenaw.substack.com 📸 Follow Dreena →   / dreenawhitpr   🎙️ Hosted by Dreena Whitfield 🎬 Executive Producer and Creative Director:   / keena-williams
