I am excited to share something a little different from my usual updates.

I am hosting Unplug, Unwind & Regroup, an intimate retreat in Nice, France in April 2027 for Black women attorneys. This is not a legal conference or a networking event. It is a small, curated gathering built around rest, honest conversation, and stepping away from the demands of a legal career, even for just a few days.

Space is limited to 10 to 12 women. If you are an attorney who has been running on empty, or you know someone who has, I would love for you to learn more. Send me a message or reach out to me at [email protected].

Hello All, Its been awhile! I'm still here and working on some things for the upcoming year. Now that I'm settled, I can concentrate on some of the projects I previously started for the baking business and a few new ideas. Although I may not be PHYSICALLY in the U.S., that doesn't mean my services are no longer available. Until then, here is an update on what's going on with me abroad. Please check out the video, subscribe, like comment and share!

Hello everyone! Based on the responses to my previous video about resuming my Legally Baking Cottage Food Webinars, Florida and Tennessee were the two states I received the most responses from, so they will be the first two states I will do. Please email me at [email protected] if you are SERIOUS about attending a webinar. There must be a minimum of 5 people for me to schedule a webinar. Once that minimum is met, I will post the date and the time for the first state. Please share this and the original post with anyone you or any groups you know that would be interested in getting the CORRECT information on the Cottage Food Rules for their particular state!

Hello everyone, I'm back! As I see, there is still a need for accurate information on Cottage Food Rules and regulations, I've decided to resume the Legally Baking Webinars I did in the past. The webinars will be 1 hour webinars for $99( value $250). Please watch the video below to hear the extras you get for signing up for a LIVE webinar. There must be a min of 5 participants for a State webinar to be scheduled.

This is the reason why it is important to label CORRECTLY! I know I have been gone for a while. I'm still working on the book for home bakers: Lawfully Sweet: Navigating the Cottage Food Industry with Confidence! I may also resume my individual state webinars on the Cottage Food rules and laws for your particular states. More details to come.

Choosing the title to my upcoming book was difficult but the engagement from the poll helped tremendously!
I read every suggestion, looked at the poll numbers, thought about catchy title, straight to the point title, also thought about marketing and possible merchandising. (there's more than just the actual title that goes into choosing the right one) There were aspects of each I wanted for different reasons. Thanks to my girl Stephanie Thornton, I chose my title.....

Lawfully Delicious: Navigating the Cottage Food Industry with Confidence!

Thank you to everyone that gave input.

I want to send a BIG thank you to everyone that responded to the poll for my Cottage Food Book Title. The responses and feedback were wonderful and really made me think. I'm so excited to finally finish this project I started 5 years ago. My goal is to have it out by August!!! I already have merchandise ideas based on the title that I will be talking to my merch guy about in the next two weeks.

Thank you all for your continued support even when I was MIA for a while. Title reveal will be this Friday!

Hello everyone!!! It's been a very long time and so much has happened and changed. It has been awhile since I mentioned I was working on a project for those needing help navigating the CORRECT STEPS to becoming a Cottage Food Baker.

Since that time I have made some major changes in MY life including a major move to another country. However, that does not prevent me from continuing to offer my legal expertise in the world of Cottage Food rules and regs. I have had a book on my computer for about 5 years and I am just NOW able to finish working on it so it can be offered to those that need it.

I would like to ask your opinion as to a title for my book. Listed below are three options, please let me know which title you find most interesting and captivating to you, as a customer, looking to purchase such a book. I hope to have it totally completed by Summer's end and available for purchase.

1. "The Legal Baker's Guide: Navigating the Cottage Food Industry with Confidence"
2. "Lawfully Delicious: A Comprehensive Legal Handbook for Cottage Food Home Bakers"
3. "Legally Baking: A Complete Step by Step on How to Start a Cottage Food Baking Business"

Thank you for your support!
