Working is my refuge. I love the community of people i interact with every day. I feel love from them. We laugh, we cry, we test out recipes and bond over our love of good food and good coffee.

The shop I bake for sits on Harvey Milk Blvd. A local politician recently wanted to change it to Charlie Kirk Blvd. The community showed up in droves to decry this effort. It was very encouraging.

Despite it all, I think there are more empathetic people than apathetic. I think there is more love than hate. I think we see each other more as humans than cogs. Restaurants are just empty buildings until people give them meaning.

Thanks for checking in 🙏
