Extremely humbled and grateful to be honored as one of Maryland’s Top 100 MBE’s last night! 🙌✨ It was such a joy to reconnect with old friends and network with other amazing minority-owned businesses. But the highlight of the evening was being completely surprised by @treasuringtia, who flew all the way from Atlanta just to celebrate with me. 🥹❤️ And as if that wasn’t enough, my awesome team placed a surprise ad in the program book to congratulate me. It took everything out of me not to snot cry on site! 😭💕 Leading a team isn’t always easy—it’s a journey of tough decisions, many of which aren’t always popular. But last night reminded me that the way my team shows up for me—and more importantly, for each other—tells me we’re doing something right. 💪💛 Our website says it best: Our team is at the nucleus of what makes True special. And they proved that tenfold last night. Thank you @rohneshamhorne @skyhouston @denisenicolecooksey @treasuringtia! And a special shoutout to @vrsand17 for pulling the surprise together—you’re the real MVP! 🙌💕 Here’s to celebrating the wins together! 🥂 #teamtrue #MBE #gratitude #leadership

Just got my hands on the new @ourplace Always Pan, and I couldn’t wait to try it! It’s exactly what I needed—a larger pan that lets me sauté a whole bag of greens like kale with ease. Plus, it’s so versatile; I can fry, roast, boil, bake, braise, sear, and more. Perfect for creating one-pan meals! #unboxing #ourplace #kitchentools
