✨ 9 Years Ago Today... ✨
Nine years ago today I took a huge leap of faith. I signed a lease & picked up the keys to my first storefront location
And just last month, I celebrated 25 years in the hospitality industry.
What started as bartending in bars and at events and teaching classes out of my home has grown so much more. Beyond Happy Hour is now in its second larger location, employs 25+ amazing staff members, provides bartending, event staffing, training, and consulting, and proudly serves 100+ events each year.
I'm also honored to be the only Black female-owned bar supply store owner on the east coast!
This journey hasn't always been easy, but it has been worth it. Every client, student, staff member, referral, event, and opportunity has helped build this dream into a reality.
Looking at this photo reminds me that God can do exceedingly and abundantly above all we ask or imagine. (He's not on a budget, ask for more)
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. The journey continues, and I'm just getting started. 🩷🥂
