Transparency post: The past year beat my ASS😅

April 2025 I hosted my most successful Mecca’s Table event. I was able to hire vendors, rent space, and invest more in my business. I couldn’t wait to start planning the next one. The next month I got laid off. And I was laid off for 14 months. In that time I pivoted from hosting events and started hustling. Catering any event I could. Meal prepping for my friends and anyone that was willing to take a chance on me. Hosting Sunday dinners and asking for donations. I acquired my LLC. I got my ServSafe food manager license. I refused to quit…even though I really wanted to. The sleepless nights. The empty bank account. The endless tears. It’s brought me here. 

Not only did I secure a job, but I was able to host my first event since my hiatus. A girl dinner. I gathered a few ladies from my community that have poured into me, inspired me, or  encouraged me during this season. Mecca’s Table is about bringing people together, forming community through food, and creating safe spaces for people to be themselves. I am so thankful I’m in a position to continue making my dreams come true. Delayed, but never denied. I keep saying it…but this is really only the beginning🥂

Birthdays have always been a little complicated for me, so I don’t take moments like this for granted. This year felt different in the best way.

Grateful for the love, the laughter, and the friends who showed up and made this birthday one I’ll always remember. My heart is full.

Here’s to growth, good energy, and embracing the joy wherever it finds me.
