Hidden Gems: Meet Cortney Day of Cortney Leishawne

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cortney Day.

Hi Cortney, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am Cortney Leishawne. I believe that I don’t have to be this or that. I can be this AND that! God has bless me with an unique ability to serve well in multiple roles. I wear many hats and I wear them well. I am an Entrepreneur, Cannapreneur, Fashionprenuer, Creative and Wellness Influencer. Pretty much, I serve wellness in every space that I am assigned to. I’ve been a nurse for over 13 years. Though, I don’t currently work in that role, I believe that wellness is ingrained in everything that I do. As a Cannaprenuer, I own and operate a Luxury CBD brand (BARA Naturals) of Selfcare and Wellness products. I recently rebranded my online boutique (Shop Virtuously Dope) to CortneyL.co which carries a line of luxury Loungewear. I serve as the Creative Director of The Heart of A Mother, a non-profit that supports the well-being of mothers who have suffered the tragic loss a child. I’m a huge advocate for living well. Therefore, I’m a firm believer that not only should you live well but you should also leave well. As a result, I am happy to announce that I am a Licensed Insurance Producer in the states of TX, LA and GA. With all that I have going on, I can say that this is my wellness season. I am more spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally and financially well than ever before.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has not always been smooth! I was mentally and emotionally drained working as a Nurse and trying to grow my business simultaneously. In 2019, I made the decision to leave my 9-5 as a Nurse Case Manager to grow my business. My business did everything but grow! It was stagnant and I questioned every choice that I made. I had a few sales here and there but not enough to supplement my income or lifestyle. Nevertheless, God kept me. To this day, I don’t know how I survived financially during that time. But, God is faithful.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I have several businesses. Therefore I have them housed in one online location (CortneyL.co).
