Life has a funny way of bringing people into your life. I was done working in a kitchen moving to Portland before the pandemic I found republica. You have all played an important part In my life and will continue to. Thank you…. For bringing a joy to my life I didn’t know I could have again. Thank you for showing up to my pop ups for supporting me always and also for loving my partner as one of your own. This isnt the end, it’s a new beginning.

From within the education system in South LA, success was held adjacent to high paying, predominately white careers and spaces. “Pursue the highest paying job or a career path marked by societal standards of “good and white”.

What the hell does that even mean? I remember sitting in too many classes, in too many grades, that said you’d “end up in food service” if you didn’t bring your grades up, if you didn’t try harder. Was that a threat? Is that punishment?

My only dream from childhood was to go to college. Not that I knew what I’d study, not that I’d have a plan after, but the thought was that school would give me opportunity. And I’d be lying if I said it didn’t. But it wasn’t the way society told me it would be. I wasn’t in a frat. I didn’t study engineering. Instead, it made me the brown guy in a white space, where I had always been the white guy in brown spaces. It made my mixed self whole.

And It led me to people and experiences that shaped who I am. It brought me to food/beverage and hospitality. The irony.

Today I got to revel in the power flipping. The team pushed out 3 courses and 2 cocktails for 400 people. Let’s say it this way, WE WERE THE HEADLINERS.

I make coffee y’all. Like it’s not that deep but also it’s that deep. I saw the shock on people’s faces when I told them I can’t speak Spanish, and the joy of sharing drinks and food after the heat cooled off. To think I’d find a place I’d belong.

I got to see magic on display tonight. This team is freaking magic y’all. Hard work and magic. 👊🏼💥

I miss my best friends guys. I have grown to be so happy with my life and I've felt so amazing these past couple of months because I've realized how blessed I am to have such amazing people and experiences in my life. It's currently 1AM on a work night and I'm sobbing out of love and happiness. Everyone who views this is a impact, memory, friend, and experience that has shaped me into the person that I am today. For years I've been working on who I am as a human being and today I realized how much I've grown and how proud I am of how far I've come. I'm so content and happy with who I am, how my life is, who I chose to keep in my life and how my future looks. I could die tomorrow and it'll be okay because so far I am the happiest in this moment than I've ever been in my whole life. Thank you all, not just the people in the slides, but you who is reading all this, spending time out of your day to focus on a random update in some random girl you know's life. Thank you for supporting me, helping me grow, helping me through hard times and being the purpose for all the good times in my life. I love you, so much more than you could ever imagine.
