Roanoke, VA resident Precious Scott is known as the Mom Pusher. The wife and mother of four is truly a country girl at heart. She was raised in the small towns of Hurt, VA, and Gretna, VA. She completed her education at Liberty University in 2007 before meeting her eventual husband, Cecil. Together, they have three beautiful children, Paris, Chloe’, and Cecil.

Precious served as the International Women’s President of One Way Churches International for four years, which only compliments her passion for empowering women and mothers worldwide. Most importantly, she is an advocate for Christ. She says, “I delight in working with women to achieve their highest potential. This includes helping develop their purpose, gifts, and strengths. Four words sum up who I desire to do; Serve, Love, Lead, and Inspire,” she says. Additionally, Precious enjoys spending time involved with activities that support her childrens growth such as the PTA Board and Classroom Mom.

Her signature brand is Precious’ Tea, an all-natural line of herbal teas that offer health benefits such as relieving stress, promoting calmness, headache relief, renewing the skin, and flushing the body of toxins. Some of the natural ingredients incorporated into her teas are Chamomile, Nettle, Peppermint, and Rose petals which she says are great for immune support.

Precious’ message is to teach women they can’t pour from an empty cup. She’s stood on that belief and worked towards her dream of running her business for a long time. “I wanted to create something special and unique for supermoms, and so I spent months working with a herbalist expert to make the perfect tea,” she says. “I was so excited to offer moms all over the world a luxury tea that makes them feel loved, and the best part about “Mom Tea” is that you can drink it daily,” she says.

Precious says God has inspired her significantly. She also credits her husband and mother for being pillars of strength and supporting her financially to produce her tea line. She also acknowledges her confidence coach, Regina Bonds, and Pastor Angelic Simmons.

Like most businesses, Precious has seen some challenges. One she shares is diversity and being a female, black-owned small business. Other challenges she’s faced are cash flow, customer service, money management, quality, and growth. Precious remains committed to taking her brand to higher heights despite facing these hurdles.

In the future, Precious has plans to bring her teas into stores. “ I will continue to bet on myself and take risks,” she shares. She also plans to continue to reach mothers and women worldwide and empower them to evolve and implement self-care. To learn more about Precious’ Teas, please visit her website.
