Tell us about yourself
I'm the founder of Amira's Taste of Soul, a Seattle native who has called the south my home for the last 20 years, currently residing in Atlanta, GA. Combined with my west coast roots, I put my own spin on comfort food. I specialize in meal prep, small catering events, and being a personal chef.
My love for food comes from my childhood when I would watch and help my mom cook at a young age. For me, food represents family, smiles, soul, and music, one of the reasons why I love to cook, and host people. Having a big family of my own, cooking for them always makes me smile, inclusive of extra people who always stop by for a meal. No matter how expensive or cheap, I enjoy eating different food and creating my own dishes.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is knowing that the food I make comes from love and makes people happy. Also, I knew that I could do it if I set my mind to something and made it work.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner is the sacrifices you have to make because you’re the captain of the ship. Sometimes it takes a lot of time, but it’s also very rewarding.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Make sure it’s something you love to do.
- Believe in yourself.
- Never give up.
- Never take no for an answer.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I enjoy what I do. I want to be able to share my love of food with as many people as I can. Give me a try, and you will not be disappointed.
