Why Do I Know I Can Help You?
more importantly
Why Do I Want to Help You?

​

Because I was you. I am you. I know firsthand the relentless drive, the passion, and the late nights spent chasing a vision. My journey has been a tapestry of connection, resilience, and growth. Over three decades, I've cultivated a deep understanding of people from every walk of life – their triumphs, struggles, and dreams.

 

My Story

  • A Legacy of Service
    Starting as Social Services Director at The Salvation Army, I supported families as they navigated the challenges of securing basic necessities. Working alongside the Tacoma Police Department, I contributed to creating safe spaces and building a stronger community.

  • CEO of WithStyle Catering
    Today, as the CEO of WithStyle Catering—the first Black-owned Corporate & Private Aviation Catering company in the U.S.—I am responsible for flawless service for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Fortune 500 CEOs, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and their diverse support teams. This role has granted me invaluable insights into catering to unique and high-stakes needs with precision and empathy.

  • Bridging Cultures and Experiences
    From heads of state to their flight crews, from celebrities to their families, I’ve worked with people at every level, understanding them at their best and supporting them at their most challenging moments. I get it because I’ve lived it.

I would like to share my story about Bridgette Washington who walked into our Sushi restaurant at a time when we were struggling. Minutes after walking in she starting asking hows business, asking about the me my staff genuinely concerned which I know now but then I was like who is this crazy lady who cares about strangers anymore? Without hesitation she offered help and advice that turned everything around for us. Her ideas were flowing, she connected us with the Corporate & Private Jet community—a demographic we didn't even know existed. Bridgette helped my wife and me with pricing, marketing, and presentation tailored to this new audience. Despite coming from different backgrounds—I am Chinese, and she is Black—B has become like a sister to me. She is 100% genuine and truly wanted the best for me, a stranger at the time. Three years later, she is not just a friend but a cherished part of our lives. I was at a low point, but Bridgette walked in and gave me hope and faith. I am grateful for her every day. Everyone needs a "B" in their lives.
