In this inspiring conversation with Gary Schoeniger, she shares her journey from selling candy, comics, and jewelry to building her soul food venture, Karter’s Kitchen, in her college dorm room. She talks about her mission to teach her community to eat healthier and create deeper connections with their food.

Dreams for the New School Year – Choosing Persistence

I really love sports.

Sports brings out the best in us. Teamwork, communication, dedication, persistence, and excellence become the norm when you play them. Dealing with failure and overcoming increasing challenges are just part of the experience. The valuable lessons that are taught stick with you over time, especially those related to choosing persistence.

What a summer it has been for sporting events. For a sports lover like me, this summer has been a feast for the senses. But there is one sport that sits in my soul because I started playing it when I was very young and that I’ve really enjoyed watching this summer: baseball.
