Some of the World’s Best Caviar Is From Tbilisi, and This Pair of Chefs Went There to Find Out Why.

As chefs, we often talk about ingredients with a sense of immediacy: What’s fresh? What’s seasonal? What’s ready now? But caviar forces you to think in years, not weeks.

the room emptied out and i stayed.

hours of prep, hours of conversing, hours of feeding people who trusted me with their evening, and then it's just me and the quiet. this is the part nobody sees. no more courses to plate, no more pours, just the weight of a dress and the weight of a night well spent.

dinner series like this one aren't about the food alone. they're about building something people remember with their whole bodies, conversing about the plight of the people and what roles we play, the smell of it all, the pacing of it, and who they sat next to. i take that seriously. i take my time with it.

so tonight i sat down and let myself feel it. all of it.

I've always believed that a table is one of the most powerful things you can build for someone.

It says, "You matter enough to gather around. You matter enough to be here."

An Afternoon of Strength & Serenity is that kind of gathering.

We're coming together in Santa Cruz on June 20th, community, powerful stories, shared purpose, and the chance to directly support women rebuilding their lives.

Your seat matters. Your presence matters.
Come sit with us. 🔗 www.supportserenity.org

I don't make many direct asks on this platform. This is one.

I serve on the board of Serenity House, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives after homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and trauma. On June 20th, we are hosting An Afternoon of Strength & Serenity in Santa Cruz — and we need sponsors to make it the event it needs to be.

Why sponsorship is critical, not just helpful, critical:
Nonprofit events live or die on sponsor support. Ticket revenue covers a fraction of what it costs to produce a gathering worthy of the mission and the women it serves. Sponsorship is what fills that gap — and more importantly, it's what allows every dollar raised at the door to go directly to programs.

Emergency housing. Trauma-informed care. Wellness services. Long-term stability support. These are not abstract line items. They are the difference between a woman having a safe place to sleep tonight and not having one.

When sponsors step in, the math changes. More resources reach more women. The work sustains.
What sponsors receive:
Beyond recognition — and we will recognize you well — you receive alignment with an organization that has been doing serious, documented, community-rooted work for women who have been underserved by nearly every other system.

That association has value. But more than that, it reflects something true about who you are and what your organization stands for.

Who I'm looking for:

Local and regional businesses ready to invest in the communities where they operate
Brands with a genuine commitment to women's equity and economic stability
Individuals and family foundations looking for direct-impact giving opportunities
Organizations whose values include dignity, healing, and second chances

If that is you or someone you know, please reach out. Sponsorship packages are available now, and June 20th is close.

Visit supportserenity.org for full sponsorship information.

Thank you for considering it. Thank you more WHEN you say yes.

I want to talk directly to businesses, brands, and individuals who have the capacity to do more than attend.

I'm on the board of Serenity House Oakland. And I'm asking for sponsors for our June 20th event, An Afternoon of Strength & Serenity in Santa Cruz.

Events like this don't just raise awareness. They fund the actual, operational work: emergency housing beds, wellness programs, trauma-informed services, and the long-term support that keeps women from falling back through the cracks after the immediate crisis passes.

Without sponsorship, the margin between what we can offer and what women actually need stays wide. With it, it closes.

If your brand believes in women's safety, dignity, and second chances, this is a direct, tangible way to put resources behind that belief. Your sponsorship puts your name next to work that is real, documented, and lasting.

This isn't a visibility play. This is a values alignment opportunity.

Sponsorship packages are available now. If you're a business owner, a community leader, or someone who simply has more to give, I'm asking you to step in.

June 20th is close. The need is now. DM me directly or visit the link: 🔗 https://www.supportserenity.org/

this is what it looks like when we own the room.

Chef Michauxnée is building Beyond the Trees Social Club, a private social club for Oakland's Black professional community, rooted in the memory of The Barn on 7th Street.

her grandmother, Ms. Ruthie Mae Glenn, ran The Barn in the 1950s and '60s. you walked in as a stranger and left as family. that was the rule of the house.

urban renewal took the businesses. it didn't take the recipe.

now Michauxnée is building it again, 3,880 square feet behind Willows & Pine. a discreet sanctuary.

this is profound. this is what we've been craving. a room that's ours.

Oakland deserves this. we deserve this.

if you've been waiting for the room that holds you, this is it.

https://beyondthetreesclub.org/

this is lineage. this is legacy. this is ours.

A private social club rooted in Oakland's Black cultural legacy. Founding membership now open.
