Who is your culinary inspiration?My greatest culinary inspiration is my mother, Marie. Watching her cook taught me that food is more than a meal—it’s comfort, love, fellowship, and legacy. At 93 years young, her recipes, strength, and passion continue to inspire everything we do at Marie’s Daughters Catering.
What would you do with the $25,000?If blessed with the $25,000, I would invest in expanding Marie’s Daughters Catering, purchase additional catering equipment, grow our mobile catering presence, and continue building a legacy my family and community can be proud of. I would also use the opportunity to inspire other women and family-owned businesses to pursue their dreams with faith, hard work, and purpose. Also definitely would have a community day to give back to the community.
