When creating a business page, you’re asked. What’s the category? For over a year I said this page will be for alternative and holistic medicine. I planned to focus on impact more than profit in the world of herbalism, with a concentration on mental health. My grandma, Martha Lee, always treated physical ailments with her own concoctions of teas and tonics. With that in mind, I wanted to spread knowledge as well as create easy access to natures healing resources.
It was soon discovered that I had a sense of passion for my platform & business to be far more than just that. I wanted it to be a timeless brand, offering not only products, but also service and vision. While listening to an old interview of Brother Cornel West, another realization was made. The difference between a brand and a cause. The mission behind this business was undoubtedly intended to represent a higher purpose, and God confirmed this for me when he restored me in him, November of 2023.
At this moment in life, the spirit guided me through scripture and visions to understand how what I thought would be an impactful small business to aide my community, is actually a tool God is steadily shaping & molding to be my ministry. The scripture lets us know there is nothing new under the sun, but also that we ourselves who are born shaped in inequity, are made new in Jesus. OLM is a cause of discipleship & minist(re). REstoration, REshaping, REnewal, and REvival. Living in purpose and walking with vision is our truest mission. We are Repairers of the breach!
We at OLM will provide the tools, tutelage, and time necessary to impact healing within our community, by way of development, empowerment, and restoration of purpose for this generation and generations to come, through God that strengthens us!
Old Modern was a covid-19 & grief baby, born back in 2020 during the pandemic and after the loss of my dearest love, my gran, for who I am a namesake. OLM was formed with a different business plan, model, and concept in mind all together. The idea behind the name was inspired by mine and my grandmas familial dynamic of Older Martha and Younger Martha. In her absence, I began to realize that the foundation of most things I would do was grounded in traditions she passed down.
It wasn’t until 2022, after years of trial and error with my own mental health medications, that a conversation was had with my bestfriend India, that truly pushed me into the world herbalism! This is when I began doing dedicated research into herbology, and also started curating custom herbal blends for myself and others.
January 2023 I hosted my first OLM sponsored event. An intimate vision board gathering for a few ladies of vision! Around May/June of 2023 a way was made for my products to be on the tables of others, and in December of 2023 God gave me the drive and confidence to finally publish my website (which had been created but inactive for well over a year).
January 20th, 2024 OLM sponsored a Women's Empowerment Vision Board Brunch, with more the double the attendees from the year prior. Just a week later we stocked up our website and made our 1st online sell January 27th, 2024. On March 2nd, 2024 OLM had the privilege of partaking in our 1st vendor event as an independent vendor! We presented our herbal blends at our own table, and made some wonderful sells and connections, thanks be to Yahweh!!!
The overall plan and direction for the business has changed so much in these past 2 years. Less for passion and profit, and more for purpose and ministry. The timeline since 2022 was filled with many breaks. Soooo much restarting, revamping, rebranding, and figuring things out along the way. As of April 2024 we have found our way! We have finally reached a season of revelation, understanding purpose behind what we are meant to do. God is great and OLM is forever thankful to be a vessel in the grand plan, doing kingdom work for the Glory of God.
