Any/all breakfast foods. By far the best meal (and food) of the day. I still get excited about eating breakfast as an adult.
What was your favorite thing about being a child, and do you try to hold onto that spirit as an adult?
“Magic”. Constantly being in a state of awe and wonder. Not taking anything for granted. Yes! I still hold onto it as much as I can.

My greatest challenge as a child was food and housing insecurity. I overcame it through the love and support of my wonderful family, the incredible mentors that took me under their wing and a lot of hard work.
What was the most valuable lesson you learned as a child, and how has it influenced your life today?
This answer is directly related to the question above. Growing up with food and housing insecurity is incredibly hard. However, it was also a wonderful life lesson on hard work, determination, fearlessness and being grateful for what you have.
