My little 🐰 bunny. What a lovely weekend with my bestie and goddaughter ❤️ Congrats Emily on such an amazing dance competition 🫶💪 Killing it!

Dear Sis, When I think of International Women’s Day, I think of you. Bravo to you for 10 amazing years running our first Cluck N Cleaver, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Congrats to you and the entire cluckin’ team past and present.

It’s never an easy task conceptualizing, building, starting, running and surviving in the restaurant business for a decade and especially working alongside a sister like me 😂😂😂😉. You exemplify the true resilience of an independent business owner with all your own money, time and energy on the line. No one who hasn’t walked in your shoes will understand the sacrifices made day in and day out, and remember that you are still standing tall and proud 👏 You should be very proud of yourself, I know I am ❤️

I look forward to being able to work closer with you this year. I have learned so much from you and I’m very excited to back in our little chicken joint 🍗

XO your grateful and blessed Sister

Man, life is so rich with you my little monkey. Thank you 🙏🏻
