“Be fearless. Don’t be scared of no, and don’t be scared of failure,” she said. “You can’t be scared of no, it’s part of the process. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you just have to do it. Go for it. Scared money, don’t make money.”
The Atlanta businesswoman said she lives by a faith-first strategy that has guided her through every pivot.
“You’ve got to put God first. I’m a faith believer, so I trust God for every single thing I get. When people put God first, they’re running from there.”

“We Had To Come To The South Side“
For COO David Butler, increasing into College Park felt like the proper next step for the growing model.
“This location was empty for a long time,” Butler said. “We’ve got locations in Douglasville, Midtown, and Cumberland, and we said we’ve got to come to the South Side. Since they didn’t have something like this, we brought what my wife does best, with a twist.”
The husband-and-wife duo handle their growing business by dividing obligations between the kitchen and the entrance of home.
“At first it was hard, but now we just divide and conquer,” Butler said. “She handles social media and the front end, and I handle the construction and operations. We just make sure it all comes together.”
When requested what it takes to keep a thriving business across a number of areas, Butler said it comes down to self-discipline and prayer.
“Prayer is the first thing,” he said. “We check in all the time and keep God first. There’s so much on social media pulling your attention in different directions. You have to stay focused and know your own lane.”
Jamelle E. McKemzie, Ward 1 Mayor Pro Tem, introduced a proclamation devoted to the homeowners and the ribbon cutting was sealed in a prayer. As cheers adopted, Main Street was stuffed with supporters excited for the success of the homeowners.
