      She does not have to worry about getting approval from her local health department because she's just cooking at home showcasing it virtually. There is no need for a permit or license from the state. She does not have to pass any inspections or get coded. In such a time as this. This is great.

Her Instagram following has exploded to just under $500k so I would expect her to double her 2021 income this year. The sky is the limit for her. Her personality and that of her family are the secret weapons to her success. We love her cooking, but it’s her authenticity that draws us in. I am so proud of you. Keep soaring and representing our culture with such flair.

    As a first generation Jamaican, I grew up right in Flatbush, Brooklyn too. She is right. Their mentality is go to school, behave, get good grades, pick a career with a great pension, work 30 years, endure the misery so you can retire at 65 and live your remaining 10 to 20 years as comfortable as you can. I feel so proud that she took something that we all saw our mothers and grands doing, and made it into a successful business. I follow her on IG and I love to see her family. God blessed this woman that she can get paid for something that she does so well and loves at the same time. Go ahead sis and may Yahweh keep blessing you and your beautiful family ❤❤

    Oh Helena! Kudos to you! What you do in your regular work life is so awesome, and I’m sure every baby you care for has a grateful family behind him/her. But then that you went for it with your side hustle is just amazing and inspiring! I wish you the very best 😊👏🏻💯

    She said her mother is Jamaican so her reaction was what it was. Most parents would react that way no matter where they are from. As mibe reacted the same way when i sold my private assisted living facility and went from the full time to 8 days a month practicing as a PA to starting my whole food plant based restaurant 12 years ago. My American parents reacted like that as well. Its not a Jamaican thing. Both my parents are blk American and they supported me but were cery concerned about my decision. I now earn double the amount i was making and have three resteraunts in two states. Best decision ever!

    Motivation to keep going! I complain daily about being a stay-at-home mom who’s homeschooling and doing every single thing to expand myself beyond the borders of my kitchen. I’m on a mission and this sister’s story is one more to add to my playlist for times I think it’s too much. Much success to all who’s going after something with their whole heart!

    It’s so incredibly encouraging watching women and minorities, like me, succeed in this way. I always struggled internally because the white people around me always got the promotions, the friends, the invites, etc. By following your own path, you don’t have to worry so much what other people think and you can eliminate “the pecking order” and other workplace drama.

    Very inspiring, and thank you for breaking down the categories of how you earn your revenue! So there's no actual cooking and selling to customers directly from your home kitchen (which would require special state and local permitting). Genius! 😊
