Alexes Haggins, the Owner of Flowers by Alexes, spent a significant part of her childhood working at her dad's floral business on Upshur Street in Northwest, Washington, DC. The Washingtonian remembers being planted at the shop, surrounded by an abundance of flowers, wishing she was playing outside with her friends instead in their Uptown neighborhood. However, this is where Alexes would learn how to clean flowers and witness her dad wear his entrepreneurs hat. Alexes' story is one filled with humble beginnings and reclamation - an inspiring journey that has positioned her to continue her father's legacy by reestablishing the business on the very same street, almost two decades later. Tune into this remarkable episode! This episode was recorded live at The Line Hotel DC.
