We’re looking forward to introducing you to Beorht Lewinski. Check out our conversation below.
Beorht, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What battle are you avoiding?
I feel like the people who really have it the hardest are the ones battling with their own mind. Every day they wake up and it’s not just about getting out of bed, it’s about convincing their mind, their heart, and their body to do what they need it to do that day. For someone else, it’s simple — they just wake up and go. But for a person fighting their mind, the smallest thing can feel like the biggest trigger, the heaviest weight, the deepest fear. That’s not an easy battle.
For me, the fight I try to avoid is letting myself get stuck in my own head — letting my thoughts control me instead of me controlling them. I’ve had to train my mind, day by day, to be okay with certain things. To not judge people. To mind my business. To focus on myself and my own path. To not let what others think or say about me sit on my shoulders. I’ve never really cared how people perceive me, and that’s not by accident — it’s because I’ve put in the work to be good with myself, through and through, flaws and all.
So now, nobody can come around and say something that makes me doubt myself. That battle, I’ve already fought, and I’m not letting my mind take me back there.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Beorht, I’m an entertainer, designer, chef, and entrepreneur — but more than that, I’m just a kid from Ghana who came to the U.S. at nine years old trying to make it in a big city. I’ve lived all over — North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Florida, Chicago, Atlanta, Texas, and more — and every place shaped me in some way. That constant moving taught me how to adapt, how to create my own lane, and how to stay true to myself no matter where I was.
Right now, I wear a lot of hats. I own a shoe brand under my name, I run a clothing collection company, and I’m also building a restaurant concept. On top of that, I’m creating a global talent management agency called Nex Gen Eclipse, which is about representing the next wave of talent — actors, models, musicians, dancers, influencers — people who deserve to be seen for their power, individuality, and growth.
What makes my work special is that everything I do comes from a place of authenticity. I’ve been through struggles, I’ve worked four jobs at once, I’ve had to start from scratch over and over — but I never let that stop me. Every brand I touch is about resilience, creativity, and pushing boundaries. I’m not trying to fit into one box, because my story was never just one lane. I want people to see me and my work and feel like they can break through anything too.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful was when I was a kid and realized I could survive change. Moving from Ghana to the U.S. at nine years old, then bouncing from state to state, family to family — that could’ve broken me. I didn’t always have stability, but I learned how to adapt, how to walk into new places with confidence even when I didn’t know anyone. That gave me power.
It wasn’t about money or status, it was about knowing I could depend on myself. I could walk into any room, any city, and still stand tall. That feeling — of not being afraid to start over and still believe in myself — that’s when I first realized my strength.
Is there something you miss that no one else knows about?
I wouldn’t say I miss it, but sometimes I think about my old, immature, childish self. Now, at my age, I carry a very mature mindset. For a long time, I thought maturity just came with age, but I’ve seen plenty of older people with some of the dumbest, most ignorant ideas. So it makes me feel like I’m an old soul in a young body — or even like an alien sometimes.
It’s not that I want to go back and be childish again, but there are moments I wish I could stoop down to that level, just to meet people where they’re at. Because when you’re surrounded by foolishness and you can’t play along, it makes you feel like the outsider. That’s the part I think about — not missing the immaturity itself, but missing the ease of fitting in without having to compete with all that.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
People love to say violence isn’t the answer, but from my experience, sometimes it really is. Don’t get me wrong — it should always be the last option. But there are people out here who’ve never been told no, never been checked, never been held accountable, and that gives them the freedom to act reckless without consequences. Sometimes a little smack or a reality check is the only thing that makes someone understand not to cross a line.
I saw a quote once that said social media gave people the confidence to talk crazy behind a screen without ever getting the dog shit smacked out of them — and honestly, that’s a golden statement. Respect matters, and some people only learn it when they’re forced to.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Yeah, I could. I’ve been in situations where nobody clapped for me, nobody told me ‘good job,’ and I still gave my all. I don’t move for praise, I move because I know what I’m capable of and I refuse to half-step. Praise is nice, but it’s temporary. The work, the grind, the growth — that’s permanent.
At the end of the day, I’m not trying to impress anybody, I’m trying to live up to my own standard. I’m the one that has to wake up and look in the mirror. So whether people cheer or stay silent, I’m still gonna give everything my best because I know my value, and I don’t need validation to prove it.
