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.
​Why I Do This?
I do this because I remember what it felt like to be alone, trying to get my passion off the ground — the uncertainty, the overwhelm, the questions with no one to ask.
​
I don’t want anyone to feel that way if I can help it. My mission is to be the person I wish I’d had back then — someone who listens without judgment, shares real-world guidance, and walks alongside you as you bring your vision to life.
​
So I’m using my decades of experience to change that — starting today, right now, with you.
Why Work With Me?
​I bring more than just knowledge — I bring understanding, empathy, and practical expertise. Whether you’re in food service, retail, creative industries, or launching something entirely new, I partner with you to help your vision grow and thrive.

Real-World Insight
I understand the challenges of running a business — from refining ideas and scaling operations to building customer loyalty and adapting to industry shifts. My advice comes from experience, not theory. -
Empathy and Non-Judgmental Support
My background in business and social services has taught me the power of meeting people where they are. No matter your starting point, I provide the space, tools, and encouragement you need to move forward. -
Expertise in High-Level Service Delivery
Years of serving elite clients have honed my ability to deliver consistent excellence under pressure — and I teach you how to bring that same standard into your own operations. -
Community-Building Experience
From local neighborhoods to global networks, I know how to create authentic connections that open doors, foster collaboration, and strengthen your brand. -
A Path to Growth, Not Just Survival
My mission is to help you build a thriving, sustainable business with a clear strategy for growth, innovation, and — when you’re ready — a successful exit plan.
Everyone, in both life and work, can benefit from a helping hand. Whether it’s gaining clarity on your goals, discovering new opportunities, or overcoming obstacles, the right support can redefine your journey to success.
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.
