Meet Beorht Lewinski

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Beorht Lewinski. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Beorht, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

I think my work ethic really comes from two places: starting young and watching my mom. I actually began working around the age of 11 at a local pharmacy. Since I was underage, I couldn’t be on the books, so they had me doing face-to-face marketing. After school, I’d go from building to building in my neighborhood—these were tall buildings with dozens of floors—knocking on doors, introducing people to the pharmacy, and even sliding flyers under doors if no one was home. It was definitely a grind, but it taught me discipline and how to connect with people early on.

As I got older, most of the jobs I took were in fast-paced environments like restaurants, where you’re constantly on your feet, multitasking, and adapting. I’ve never been someone who enjoys sitting still for hours at a desk; I feel more alive when I’m moving and creating.

But more than anything, my mom was my biggest inspiration. She raised me and my sibling on her own, and seeing how hard she worked to provide showed me what real strength looks like. That made me want to push myself, stay on the go, and never settle. So my work ethic is really a mix of those early experiences and her example.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

My journey has always been about creativity, movement, and growth. I was born in Ghana, with roots also in Trinidad, and moved to the U.S. at nine years old. That background really shaped me—I’m a kid from small towns with big dreams, now making my way in the big city. I started acting young, and over time I’ve expanded into modeling, design, and cooking. I don’t like being limited to one lane; I see myself as a multifaceted creative and entrepreneur, always finding new ways to tell stories and connect with people.

Professionally, I’m really focused on two things right now: building my career as an entertainer and growing my business ventures. I own a shoe brand and a clothing collection company, and I’m also developing my restaurant concept, where I get to bring my love for food and design together. On top of that, I’ve launched Nex Gen Eclipse, a global talent management agency that represents a mix of actors, models, influencers, musicians, dancers—you name it. It’s about inclusivity, power, and growth, and I want it to be a platform that changes how talent is seen and valued worldwide.

What excites me most is that I’m creating things that reflect who I am while also creating opportunities for others. Whether it’s designing, entertaining, or building businesses, I want everything I touch to inspire people to dream bigger. Coming from Ghana and Trinidad, then moving to America, I’ve experienced firsthand how circumstances can be challenging, but they don’t have to define your limits.

As for what’s next—readers can definitely expect expansion. I’m working on menus for my restaurant, growing Nex Gen Eclipse, and pushing forward with new creative projects. At the end of the day, everything I do is about impact, representation, and leaving behind something bigger than myself.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back, I’d say the three most impactful things in my journey have been adaptability, discipline, and vision.

Adaptability came from moving around so much as a kid. I lived in different states, sometimes not even staying long enough to go to school before moving again. That taught me how to adjust quickly, connect with new people, and find my place in any environment. In entertainment and business, things rarely go as planned, so being able to adapt is everything.

Discipline I picked up from starting work young. Whether it was going door to door for the pharmacy at 11 or working in fast-paced restaurants as an adult, I learned early on that hard work isn’t optional—it’s the foundation. I don’t wait for motivation; I rely on discipline to push me forward.

Vision is what ties it all together. I’ve always been able to see beyond where I am right now. Even when I was a kid in Ghana or later in Trinidad and the U.S., I knew I wanted to create something bigger, something lasting. Vision keeps me from settling and reminds me why I’m on this journey.

For anyone just starting out, my advice would be this:
• Practice adaptability by putting yourself in new environments—travel, try new jobs, meet people outside your comfort zone.
• Build discipline by keeping promises to yourself, even on small things. That builds the muscle you’ll need for bigger challenges.
• And most importantly, protect your vision. People might not see it the way you do at first, but if you stay committed and keep building, it will eventually speak for itself.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

That’s a tough one for me, because when I look back, I don’t really point to one single ‘impactful’ thing my parents did. Don’t get me wrong—they did a good job raising me, and there’s definitely love in my family. I know I could call any of them in a heartbeat and they’d be there for me. But when it comes to shaping who I am today, I honestly feel like I raised myself in a lot of ways.

I joke with my parents sometimes and say, ‘I birthed and raised myself,’ because that’s really how it felt. I never had birthdays growing up, we didn’t sit down for family dinners, and my dreams of being in the entertainment industry weren’t really supported. In many African households, careers like doctors, teachers, or business owners are seen as the ‘important’ paths, so chasing acting or modeling wasn’t considered realistic.

Because of that, I had to develop my own morals, dignity, and respect. And to be real, when I compare myself to a lot of people my age, I see the difference. Common sense isn’t so common. I’ve met people my age with some of the most rotten ways of thinking, and sometimes I honestly wonder how they go through life like that—almost on an imbecile level. Ignorance might be bliss, but with all the access to books, movies, and technology we have today, staying ignorant feels like a choice.

What I carry now is the love my family gave me, even if it wasn’t expressed in the traditional ways. And the rest? I built through my own experiences. That’s why I value relationships so deeply. I want to get married one day, have kids, and give them the things I didn’t have—family traditions, unconditional support, and the freedom to chase their dreams. Until then, I put others above myself, I love with my whole heart, and I celebrate people’s wins as if they’re my own. That’s who I became because of, and in spite of, how I was raised.
