Sacramento Black Chamber

Tonight I attended the Sacramento Black Chamber’s 2nd Annual Open House. It was a wonderful event and I met a lot of interesting business folks. I used this opportunity to share my vision for a food business in Sacramento and to get the word out about the Moon River Inn. My ideas were welcomed, well received and genuinely supported. They especially loved the idea of sweet potatoes as the star of the show. I could see them salivating as I spoke of candied yams, sweet potato waffles and muffins!

I met young, bright entrepreneurs as well as mature business owners, all of which I hope to one day do business with. I was very surprised and impressed to learn that companies like Sacramento Regional Transit, SMUD and the Mayor’s Office support the efforts of small businesses -- with not just words alone -- but out there showing that they stand by their words. Azizza Davis Goines, the President & CEO of the organization, is a jewel and I have every confidence that once I become a member she will do all within her power to make sure I am positioned for success.

Well… it’s getting late. Better get back to the kitchen. I want to try out a few more recipes before I lose my spunk! Good night.
