Desiderata Kitchen by Chef Ciara

March was a reminder of how far I’ve come…
Of the rooms I had to stand in alone.
Of the moments I smiled while carrying things no one could see.
In March, I was honored to receive the 2026 Innovation & Impact Award from 101 Women in Business. And honestly, I’m still learning how to celebrate moments like this.
So much of what people see is business…but this is me in real life too.
I’ve handled life the same way I handle my business daily...with gratitude, grit, humility, resilience, faith, and determination.
This came from the constant work that often goes unnoticed.
The quiet giving that no one sees.
The choosing to keep showing up, even in hard seasons.
This award means more than innovation and impact. For me it represents perseverance. Becoming. Showing up anyway and doing the right thing even when it feels lonely. Even when you feel unseen or overlooked. God sees you! Stay the course!
Grateful for every lesson, every setback, every answered prayer, and every person who has supported me along the way. 🤍✨
