It’s been five years since I have done a blog post. I can honestly say that so much has happened within that timeframe, but I am forever thankful that I am still standing, growing, and making a difference one day at a time. Speaking of making a difference…

My business partner, Erin Smith, and I — yes, we have a business called Maltshop Marketing — had the pleasure of working with the Shreveport-Bossier Convention & Tourist Bureau (SBCTB) to create a social media campaign for the 2022 Shreveport-Bossier’s Black Restaurant Week. Each year, the Shreveport-Bossier African American Chamber of Commerce (SBAACC) puts together a week of festivities celebrating and highlighting black-owned restaurants and their culinary talents within the community.
