I have some pretty amazing news to share!

Sheer Ambrosia Bakery has been named the 2026 Afro Utah Most Impactful Afro Business of the Year!

I’m still taking this one in.

When I started Sheer Ambrosia, I certainly didn’t know all the places this journey would take me or all the wonderful people I would meet along the way. I just knew I wanted to make something special, share a part of myself with others, and make some really good baklava!

Over the years, this business has given me so many opportunities to serve, connect with people, and be part of this community in ways I never could have imagined.

To be recognized for that impact means so much to me.

Thank you to GK Folks Foundation and Afro Utah for this honor, and congratulations to all of this year’s awardees. I am truly humbled to be among you.

And I have to thank all of YOU too. If you’ve ever bought my baklava, told somebody about Sheer Ambrosia, hired me, invited me somewhere, shared one of my posts, cheered me on, or simply said, “Keep going,” please know that I appreciate you more than you realize.

We’re going to celebrate this one!

September 4, 2026. Afro Utah Awards.

I’ll see you there!

WHEN KINDNESS IS MET WITH KINDNESS

I stopped by Este Pizzeria for lunch today after pre-ordering my pizza. When I arrived, it wasn’t quite ready.

Colton, one of the employees, couldn’t have been more apologetic. I smiled, told him not to worry, and shared that my own day had already had a few hiccups too. A little grace was all the situation needed.

He was so relieved that I wasn’t upset that he surprised me with a complimentary drink and an extra slice of pizza.

His kindness stayed with me.

Later this afternoon, I returned with a box of Sheer Ambrosia baklava to thank him.

It reminded me of something simple: kindness has a way of multiplying. One small act can inspire another, and before long, two strangers have made each other’s day a little brighter.

In business and in life, that’s a return on investment worth making.

Last June, Nordstrom at Fashion Place Mall in Salt Lake City reached out and asked if I would like to participate in a Juneteenth pop-up. I was so grateful and excited. Not just because it was an opportunity to sell my baklava, but because Nordstrom is... well... Nordstrom. Such a beautiful, iconic retailer believed that the Sheer Ambrosia brand belonged in their store.

That meant more to me than I can express.

What started as one pop-up the Saturday before Father's Day in 2025 quickly blossomed into an incredible partnership. Over the past year, Nordstrom has welcomed Sheer Ambrosia back for Juneteenth two years in a row, the Anniversary Sale in July, multiple weekends throughout August, September, and October, and again this year for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. I could not be more grateful.

Along the way, I have introduced thousands of people to Sheer Ambrosia Baklava and Earthy Endeavors Granola. More importantly, I have made wonderful friends among the Nordstrom team and in the community.

There is one person I especially want to thank...Stephany Pierce!
Stephany has been one of the kindest, most generous people I have met. She has welcomed me and my team, encouraged me, and cheered me on every step of the way. She genuinely wants small businesses like mine to succeed, and that kind of leadership leaves a lasting impression. Stephany, thank you for believing in Sheer Ambrosia and for opening your doors to me over and over again this past year.

When people ask what makes a great business, I think about relationships like this one. Businesses grow because products are great. They thrive because people choose to believe in one another. Thank you for believing in me Stephany! Thank you, Nordstrom, for an unforgettable first year. Here's to many more.

What Juneteenth Means to Me

Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom is not just something we inherit—it’s something we honor through what we build.

As the descendant of people who once owned nothing, I never take for granted the opportunities I’ve been given. To me, the American Dream isn’t about overnight success. It’s about investing in the things that matter most: your children, your health, your community, and your purpose.

For years, I poured my time into raising my family and building Sheer Ambrosia, often sacrificing comfort, vacations, and financial security in the short term. Today, I’m watching those investments begin to bear fruit. My children are thriving. My business continues to grow. And I’m proud to be a shareholder and customer of Redemption Bank, the first Black-owned bank in the Mountain West.

Juneteenth reminds me that freedom creates opportunity, but opportunity requires work, patience, sacrifice, and faith.

I am grateful for those who came before me, and I feel a responsibility to make the most of the opportunities their sacrifices made possible.

I’m still building.

❤️🖤💚
