Two trailblazing Black women, KeShaundra Malone and Susan Smallwood, are bringing the luxury experience through each of their caviar businesses.
Susan Smallwood:
Susan’s journey is that of resilience, with the power of manifestation and positivity as her guiding source. Hosting her first caviar event in March 2020, Susan noticed a significant gap in representation when searching for marketing materials—there were no images of Black people or people of color.
“It was at that time that I decided to change the complexion,” she says. Susan ventured deeper into the caviar business and turned her dreams into reality by launching La Grande Caviar in June 2022.
KeShaundra Malone:
KeShaundra's journey into the world of caviar began at a local champagne bar in Atlanta where she attended a caviar tasting. While sparking up a conversation with the gentleman who hosted the event, KeShaundra’s passion to venture into her own caviar business was ignited. Similar to Susan, what struck her the most was the lack of diversity in the industry and more specifically, the absence of Black women.
Motivated by her desire to share experiences with others and the lack of diversity in the caviar industry, KeShaundra founded MRAA Caviar with a mission to bring the joy of caviar to others.
To truly experience caviar the right way, Susan and KeShaundra have got you covered. Attend signature events or bring luxury right into your home by ordering caviar from LaGrandeCaviar.com or MRAACaviar.com.
