Mochichisdonuts

Kinda cool to open a donut shop and build a community around it 🍩🫶

Turns out mochi balls and sushi are a match made in heaven 🍣✨🍩🎞️ San Diego Magazine Omakase Open!!

Lights Camera Mochi Balls 👀 A little BTS of our first commercial by Project Performer | Encinitas, CA 🌟 We can’t wait to see what these kiddos put together 😎

Well... this is a little surreal.

I’m honored to be a nominee for San Diego Magazine’s Celebrating Women Awards in the Food & Beverage Rising Star category. 🥹

Finalists were selected by a panel, and now the winner is decided by public vote.

If you’ve enjoyed following this crazy journey from nonprofit leader to donut shop owner (or just really like cheering on small businesses 😅), I’d be so grateful for your support.

🗳️ Vote here:

It does require creating an account, but I promise it only takes about a minute.

And yes... you can vote every day. 😂 I swear this is the only time you’ll hear me campaign like it’s prom. 🫶

Thank you for believing in me while I continue to stumble, learn, and build this wild little dream. It truly means more than you know. 💛🍩
