Being featured among Filipina entrepreneurs in this article by Ms. Mimi Rojo Laurilla is both a humbling and gratifying experience.
Often, self-doubt creeps in but I guess this recognition is a reminder that every step I take has purpose…
Looking back where I started and despite current setbacks, this opportunity reinforces that I am exactly where I am meant to be..
The day I found out that my children’s names mean “Dark Chocolate” (Adriana in Greek means “dark & rich” , while “Theo” is “God’s gift” in Greek and also is short for the scientific name of cacao, “Theobroma”)
was the moment I felt destined for this journey. It became a powerful affirmation that my path aligns with a sweet purpose.
Special thanks to The Philippine Times (Australia) Jason Cordi Raine Cabral George Gregorio❤️ My Filipino Chefs Association of Victoria Inc and Barangay family who continue to push me to innovate and to my mentors Chefs Ricci Carmona Klein Harthone Canoy Rommel Cao Fhred Erick Batalona for instilling the belief in me that one doesn’t need to be a chef to create something remarkable.
A heartfelt thank you to my husband Jake, my greatest anchor and supporter for embracing my decision to take a sabbatical from nursing to focus on my own mental well-being and our family. Though I am still not where I want to be, I am undeniably in a much better headspace. You and the kids are my driving force to success and I promise to keep striving and to never give up on this dream.
Congratulations too to my ate Minette Macaroyo Sales of Mrs. Market By Minette. Our shared success is testament to your resilience & dedication to navigate the “beautiful” complexities of both the worlds of motherhood and entrepreneurship.
Together, we push boundaries, each dedicated to our unique causes — me, advocating for mental health awareness, and together, championing the cause of Autism.
