Tanesha Sims-Summers, an award-winning graduate from the University of Alabama at Birmingham where she studied marketing and Spanish, has always had a passion for people and community. After nearly 15 years in a corporate career of investment banking and digital marketing, she decided that the time had come to pursue her passion of entrepreneurship. While kettle corn was never on her radar of pursuits, it has become a fun endeavor that has been the catalyst to work she feels God has called her to do. She co-owns and operates Naughty But Nice Kettle Corn Co. with her rock, partner in business and in life, husband, Clem Summers. Her joy is in raising her four extraordinary children ages 19, 19, 9, and 7 and fur baby, Merry. She credits her father and her aunts and supportive family and friends for inspiring her on her entrepreneurship journey. NBNKC, based in Birmingham and established in 2014, specializes in unique sweet-and-salty kettle corn blends. Their small-batch, kettle-to-hand process allows for the freshest snack possible. The high-quality flavorings keep “Popheads” (customers) coming back for more. NBNKC helps people celebrate life’s sweet moments whether it's weddings, employee engagement celebrations or a family movie night. It’s Not Just Popcorn with NBNKC. The brand is FUN, FRESH & FESTIVE and exists to make the world a sweeter place to live. Tanesha believes that three things—a commitment to seizing educational opportunities, the ability to truly engage with community and community resources, and having a Poppin unique and creative product—drive the success and continued growth of Naughty But Nice Kettle Corn Co.
