Welcome back to Beats Vines & Life! In this special bonus episode, host MJ Towler reunites with the dynamic and trailblazing winemaker Brenae Royal for part two of their powerful conversation. After the overwhelming response to her first appearance, Brenae Royal returns to dive deeper into her incredible journey—sharing how she’s navigated the challenging world of wine, achieved rapid success with her brand Violet’s Paradise, and what it means to break ground as a Black woman in the vineyard and beyond.

Together, they dig into the hustle behind securing wine distribution, building authentic mentorship, and the realities of balancing personal values with the demands of growing a business. Brenae Royal opens up about honoring her late dog Violet May through her brand, the lessons she’s learned from vineyard life, and how she’s paving the way for a new generation of diverse winemakers. Along the way, they share stories about excellence, community, and staying true to yourself in a landscape where representation and resilience matter more than ever.

Tune in for real talk, big lessons, and inspiration—whether you’re into wine, entrepreneurship, or just living your purpose to the fullest.
