Behind every cookie, tamale, and lunch box is a story of resilience. Miriam didn’t start with a business plan, she started with survival. After losing her job and navigating depression while raising her children, she found hope in her kitchen. Alfajores became her therapy, her church community became her first customers, and each sale brought a little light back into her life.

As her confidence grew, so did her craft. She studied hospitality and culinary arts, earned scholarships, and turned her setbacks into opportunities. From pop-up events to large-scale catering, Miriam’s journey is one of quiet courage, fierce determination, and the joy of proving to herself, and others, that dreams can rise, even from the toughest beginnings.
