We had the good fortune of connecting with Zaire Allah and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Zaire, what role has risk played in your life or career?
The most of the biggest risk takers in life are most successful from a financial literacy standpoint. Raised and coming from poor/humble beginnings I was taught early that I would have to take risks in order to propel myself to the top of whatever I desired to be at a high level. You get rewarded for the shots you take not for the ones you dont
What should our readers know about your business?
I’m very excited about the future of where I envision in taking the business myself and others along the way. Getting to the point of where I’m selling Froots for a living came naturally. This is my lifestyle I figured to myself why not offer your lifestyle in the way of eating to the people. They need it. The challenges I faced were all financial. Not having enough money to buy a truck or rent a store front but that wasn’t something I allowed to get in my way of doing what I want and love. I no longer wanted to work a job. A true free man is one who has an idea in his mind and brings it into fruition in the physical and lives off of that and creates opportunities for others. I was able to accomplish that on a small level this past summer/fall and now with momentum and lessons learned from triumphs and losses next year 2025 spring is going to be amazing. Movie time! Lol
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely make sure they get some of the Froots from the Froot God himself lol! But I would take them to Post Houston the views there of the city skyline are pretty dope! Also stop by Soul Food Vegan and Meeks Pizza for some delicious Comfort vegan plant based food! Black Owners of these establishments who are doing good things in the city of Houston! Afterwards go for a scooter ride downtown area. It’s a lot the city of Houston is adding on in the downtown area
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Most definitely I would like to shoutout The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Minister Louis Farrakhan, The Father Allah and Dr. Sebi! All of these Powerful and life changing men played the major role in what I’m doing today with my mindset, health and business. The Book on How To Eat To Live from The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad shifting my way in thinking on how to properly take care of the body and what proper foods to eat. The same with Dr. Sebi. Most of my people are suffering from lack of knowledge on foods but also having food deserts in our communities. Bringing organic/pure froots and vegetables from the private farms and collaborating with farmers-growers is something that I know these men would want and be proud of
