Sunday💝💝

Today was all about celebrating my Nanny Jeanette Richards for her birthday! 🎂❤️

We started our morning at church, where I got to see my aunt & uncle and cousins. We don’t get together nearly enough, so I really enjoyed catching up with them.

And when the birthday girl said she wanted brunch at Boudreaux Cajun Restaurant well…that’s exactly where we went! 🦞🍤🥂🍾

Delicious seafood, good music, great conversation, and even better company! 🦀🎶

Some of the best days are about slowing down, being present, and cherishing the people who mean the most.

My heart is full, and I’m so grateful for another birthday spent making memories with my Nanny.

Happy Birthday, Nanny! 🥳❤️
I love you!

P.S. She specifically told me to put her on my feed, so here you go, Nanny! You’re officially Facebook famous! 😘.

Y’all Wish My Nanny a Happy Birthday 🎂 !!! by @thechefyoexperience

Y’all, meet Roux. 🦞

Apparently, building Nuksy’s Gourmet wasn’t enough—I needed a sidekick with opinions, a gold spoon, and absolutely no fear of taking over the room. 😂

Roux has a little Louisiana in him, a lot of personality, and the same belief I do: dinner deserves flavor with a purpose.

I think we make a pretty good team. What do y’all think—does Roux look like he can handle the spice aisle? 👀Nuksy's Gourmet

Tulsa, Oklahoma—Chef Yo and Nuksy’s Gourmet are in the room! 💜

I brought a little taste of our chef-crafted Creole seasonings to the State of Black Food, along with our Discovery Collection and trio gift box. Seeing something that began in my kitchen travel into new spaces still gives me a moment to pause and smile.

I’m here to connect, learn, and share what makes these blends special: each one has a purpose, and each one helps make dinner easier and more flavorful.

Tulsa, what should I cook with the spices while I’m here? 👀

Part 2: . 💚

After putting my hands on every detail, I had the joy of personally placing the Nuksy’s Gourmet® Discovery Collection into theirs.

Watching the smiles, the hugs and the genuine reactions reminded me that this was more than a product unveiling. It was the moment preparation met purpose—and a vision I had carefully nurtured became a shared experience.

Thank you to Greater Houston Black Chamber for creating a space that celebrates connection, leadership and the Power of Us.

Made with intention. Delivered with gratitude.

And from here? Ain’t no stopping us now! ✨

POV: The CEO still puts her hands on the product.

People see the finished product, but rarely the hands and heart behind it.

For the debut of the Nuksy’s Gourmet® Discovery Collection, I wanted to put my personal touch on every detail—from the seasonings and recipe cards to the final packaging.

Yes, I’m the CEO. But I’m also still the chef, the creator and the woman who makes sure the vision is executed with excellence.

Seasonings + Recipes = Dinner Handled.

Greater Houston Black Chamber. Proof of Resilience..Found this Signed Photo from Office of the Governor Greg Abbott today while cleaning the storage.

After Hurricane Harvey destroyed my commercial kitchen and flooded All of my catering vans, LiftFund US helped me acquire Nuksy’s Table “The Little Blue House” 1926 W. Dallas. I was so thankful for all the efforts the Entire Team took to make sure Nuksy's Fine Catering Stayed in business..

4 Days after I got the keys, we were hosting Gov. Greg Abbott Harvey Relief Press Release IN MY BACK YARD!!

😅I’m talking building a walkway and ramp, Security Clearance, Media, Platforms, Appetizers, Interviews! And did you catch 4 DAYS to Be Great!

When I say I called in some Vendor Friends. Shoot Out to D'Concierge, Darryl Moore &
What's the Occasion - Linen & Decor Rentals in Houston.
