I'm in the process of building a cookie shop, which has been a dream of mine for several years. I'm almost there! I’ve already secured a lease in a prime location in Tampa, and it’s been an incredible journey so far. Unfortunately, I’ve encountered challenges with funding, as many Black businesses do. Black small business owners are disproportionately unable to get necessary capital for their business to grow and are half less likely than white counterparts to secure full financing. Funding challenges have slowed my progress, and I’m at a crucial point where every bit of support counts. This is why I am rallying my community, my peeps, family, friends, and all the like to back me up.

My community has always been a source of strength and inspiration. Your donations will go directly toward finishing the buildout and allowing me to finally open my doors (it’s been a long road!) Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to making TCM Cookie Shop a reality. Your generosity will be remembered and always appreciated as we celebrate TCM Cookie’s grand opening together! For years, sharing my desserts with the people I love has been a joy. Seeing your smiling faces makes it all worthwhile. I want to continue sharing this joy with people all over. Thank you in advance for being a part of my journey and supporting my dream. I don’t take this lightly. We all we got!

My vision extends beyond the walls of a traditonal business; it is my desire to create a supportive community commited to leaving a lasting legacy. A legacy that benefits not only me, but my loved ones, my community, and every person that comes in contact with my business. TCM Cookie has been a manifestation of my passion for creating enjoyable experiences and making a positive impact in society. My goal is to be a role model, providing opportunities for personal and professional growth to those who face adversity. At TCM Cookie, our philosophy is to "Be A Monster," encouraging everyone to be true to themselves, to embrace their uniqueness, and to face challenges with resilience and determinaton.

Over the past five years, I have created a brand that not only produces gourmet cookies, but also stands as a beacon of inspiration. I have always been commited to doing everything possible, in my power, to ensure the success of TCM Cookie. Now, as I take the momentous step of opening a cookie shop, I need support. I need people in my corner that believe in me just as much as I believe in myself. Your support is not just a financial investment into my business but a shared commitment to making a positive impact in our community and in my mission to spread joy, inspiration, and empowerment.
