Today we’d like to introduce you to Keesha Oldham.
Hi Keesha, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I actually used to work on the Offshore Oil Rig 2015-2016 (Chef Manager) and just used to put various seasonings and spices in a bowl and used that with everything I cooked for the crew. In 2019, the thought of those spices came to mind, but unfortunately, I couldn’t remember all of what I had used from so long ago. So I mentioned this to a friend of mine and was told to pray on it and ask God to bring it back if it was meant. So about a month later, December 2019 everything started manifesting. I put those same seasonings and spices together and tried it on a steak meal. My friend enjoyed it and told me that I could create a business, at that point K Creations was started.
The name of my first seasoning is K Creations Allspice Seasoning. So in March 2020, K Creations, LLC was started and from that I have created 5 seasonings (Allspice, Herbalicious, BBQ Oak, Twisted Lemon and Radar Heat) and more to come soon.
In the middle of 2021, I created my popcorn business PizaDee Pop Pop. And it has a twist to it, I actually put a little bit of my seasonings in the popcorn, to bring a different flavor to the consumer.
I have been doing various Pop Up Shops and Vendor Events to introduce both of my businesses and it has been going very well for me.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Smooth wouldn’t be the word I would use, I would say it’s been Slow at times due to being started doing the pandemic.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
As of today, I am a Culinary Director at a Senior Living Community, specializing in nutritional tasty meals for our seniors.

Also K Creations as another part to the business of creating seasonings for individuals, I was honored to be able to create a seasoning for a well-known saucier from Saint Louis.
What I am proud of the most is, that I have learned what my God Given Gift was at an earlier age, and now I’m actually seeing what God has in store for my journey.
What I believe that sets me apart from others is that I’m a true Concoctionist and love Constructive Criticism
