Jachin, Ala. (BlackNews.com)—Esteemed African American entrepreneur Michelle Timberlake has found big success with her company, Marjorie’s Beef Jerky Inc., which produces a delectable selection of beef jerky made from fine cuts of beef. For more than 25 years, her company has been marketing, distributing and selling a beef jerky brand that is savory, high in protein, and features six flavors to choose from (Original, Hot & Spicy, Sweet & Spicy, Cracked Pepper, Teriyaki and Burnout). Even more, the products are free of MSG and are made only with natural ingredients.
Michelle began her journey in 1991 in Victorville California. She was and still is an 18-wheeler truck driver for 26 years now but plans to hopefully get out of a truck for good soon because her body just cannot take the beatings anymore from the rough roads. In 1991, Michelle was in a bad truck driving accident that was a threat to her career. She was very concerned about her future and decided to take it up in a matter of prayer. She states, “I didn’t know what to do. I had a 5-year old boy to feed, and I really could not see a way out so I prayed about it.”
Three days later, Michelle says she was enlightened with a vision of starting a beef jerky company. Immediately, she began her journey into making “the best tasting beef jerky on this planet!” She named the business after her late mother Marjorie Leona Dawson. Michelle comments, “My mother was my number one beef jerky fan. In 2010, she told me, ‘Michelle it’s time for you to put your beef jerky through. It is going to make you.’”
