How did you know it was time?

So there were a couple of steps in the middle.

In 2017, In 2014, my mother, who was still with us, had developed Alzheimer's.

And at that point, I was still with Diabetes Hands Foundation.

It became clear to me, knowing how her finances looked, that I was not going to be as a single person.

child, as an only child, I was not going to be in a position to cover her care basically with what I was making.

So that was an incredibly hard time for me because I kept for months looking for ways in which I could continue at Diabetes Hands and be able to provide for her.

Why that age group specifically? Why is that the group that the foundation focuses on?

So tell us about what you learned while you were working there.

A lot of New Orleans cocktails.

Most of all, the food, the Creole food.

I mean, honestly, thanks to them, too, another amazing competition, some more seminars.

And that was the first bar where I sat with them, and they're like, this is vodka.

This is what is made of, how it's made of gin.

So they specify every spirit to you, and every profile, bitter, sour, how it kind of... pick with the guests.

Yeah.
