Hi Taccara, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought process behind Pecan Tan Sweet Pecans and More, LLC was my love for cooking and wanting to share it with the world. wanted to put a smile on my customers face with great food, a warm personality and awesome customer service, My thoughts were to be a private chef because I have always enjoyed cooking for others, so I wanted to be able to bring a nice ambience to homes or private events without my client having to worry about getting groceries or cleaning up as well. I wanted to make sure my services whether it was hosting a private event, or a client ordering treats or meals to be affordable and divinely delicious.

I am also the Chief Marketing and Content Officer for an amazing non-profit organization Kingdom Business, Incorporated. Kingdom Business, Inc ( Formely known as Take It To The Streetz) was founded by Youth Pastor Maurice Clark-Wilkison Jr. and Pastor Derrick Grant. The process behind Kingdom Business is doing God’s work by giving back and making a difference in the community. Kingdom Business focus is hosting different events for the community as well as having a podcast to reach and teach the community about certain aspects of life and discussing current events that is happening across the world. We want to be able to provide for our community spiritually, finacially, economically, educationally, and professioanlly.

Since 2019 , I have expanded to meal prepping, shipping, treats and cookie boxes, sauces, Sunday Dinners, private events, taste testings, and weddings.

I am super proud of myself and the grownth of my business because business was hit or miss for a while but now it is starting to grow and have a constant flow. I am where I am today because of God, my loyal customers and my love for cooking, It definitely has not been an easy road.

I have learrned that running a business is not easy, you will have days where you feel like you have lost but dont get discouraged. I have learned that everything is not a competition, there may be a business selling the same product as you who could help you and network with you so that you can be better at your craft.
