2024 COAACC Gala

I always hated networking and small talk for my businesses. Reluctantly, I blindly walked into a meeting for the “Black Chamber of Commerce” at LaGlory’s Cafe 5 years ago. I walked out with an order from Jill Frost and J. Averi Frost for 4 beautiful blue cakes and a new relationship that I had no idea would help my catering business for years to come 💙



Fast forward 5 years and 3 Central Ohio African American Chamber of Commerce Galas later, I have not only fully catered the event twice, but also coordinated 8 of the 10 food vendors along with a large on site staff to execute the event this year (4/13/2024).

Thank you Jill and Averi for the opportunity to serve COAACC! And to any business owner afraid to walk into a room - DO IT! You never know what will come out on the other side.

🖤 Chef Mieka
