Juanita\u2019s Kitchen started as a home-based business with Juanita helping to cook. Now that the business has grown and has its own chefs and cooks, Juanita still cooks, even though she doesn\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ernisha Randolph was 8 years old when the entrepreneurial bug bit. She wanted money from her father for a toy but he wouldn\u2019t budget. Randolph started making candy and selling it. It became a $500-per-week gig until she turned 18 years old. Then it was on to the not-for-profit Young Ladies of Integrity. Through this organization, she mentored young women, culminating the program each summer with a gala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Randolph is owner of a start-up incubator through which she assists 10 businesses with everything from physical facilities to entering pitch competitions until they grow to have revenues north of $250,000. Businesses in the incubator range from a kitchen to an organic lemonade business started by a 16-year-old. Randolph said the lemonade business won the National Black Chamber of Commerce\u2019s pitch competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Randolph is best known as the CEO of Juanita\u2019s Kitchen, a full-service catering company with six government contracts and numerous corporate clients. Randolph has been running Juanita\u2019s Kitchen for eight years and she is now ready to expand. Randolph on Feb. 10 launched Sweet Butter, a pop-up restaurant that held three dinner seatings. It is a precursor to a bricks and mortar restaurant, which will be Randolph\u2019s first. She said to expect the restaurant in 2018 but plans may speed up to a 2017 opening in Overtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were looking in other places for a location,\u201d said Randolph. \u201cFor instance, North Miami is working on a food scene so we were keeping our options open.

Today, Randolph is owner of a start-up incubator through which she assists 10 businesses with everything from physical facilities to entering pitch competitions until they grow to have revenues north of $250,000.

Randolph is best known as the CEO of Juanita\u2019s Kitchen, a full-service catering company with six government contracts and numerous corporate clients.

Juanita\u2019s Kitchen started as a home-based business with Juanita helping to cook. Now that the business has grown and has its own chefs and cooks, Juanita still cooks, even though she doesn\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randolph also is involved with Miami Millennial Investment Group, made up of friends from the Young Professionals Network Miami. The group is buying homes in inner cities communities, rehabbing and reselling. So far, they have bought two homes in Liberty City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best thing you could do is build a community,\u201d said Shumow. \u201cThat\u2019s what Martin Luther King said: \u2018let\u2019s make a loving community.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He draws inspiration from fellow colleague Robert Gutsche Jr. Their collaborations have helped Shumow think of his work in terms of geography and space. \u201cIn any city you go to in the United States you know when you\u2019re in a Black community,\u201d said Shumow. \u201cUsually there\u2019s a Martin Luther King Boulevard and that\u2019s not an accident. It was intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He argues these boundaries were created by small government through zoning and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He focuses on these issues in his book, \u201cNews, Neoliberalism, and Miami\u2019s Fragmented Urban Space,\u201d released December of last year in collaboration with Gutsche. \u201cThe work we do is recognizing the struggle and the attacks on Black communities,\u201d said Gutsche. \u201cBut also recognizing the moments of love, resistance, continuance and faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the future, Shumow plans to continue his work in Liberty Square with a follow-up documentary, especially if the community undergoes redevelopment. His next project is to document the people and history of Charles Hadley Park in Liberty City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ernisha Randolph was 8 years old when the entrepreneurial bug bit. She wanted money from her father for a toy but he wouldn\u2019t budget. Randolph started making candy and selling it. It became a $500-per-week gig until she turned 18 years old. Then it was on to the not-for-profit Young Ladies of Integrity. Through this organization, she mentored young women, culminating the program each summer with a gala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Randolph is owner of a start-up incubator through which she assists 10 businesses with everything from physical facilities to entering pitch competitions until they grow to have revenues north of $250,000. Businesses in the incubator range from a kitchen to an organic lemonade business started by a 16-year-old. Randolph said the lemonade business won the National Black Chamber of Commerce\u2019s pitch competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Randolph is best known as the CEO of Juanita\u2019s Kitchen, a full-service catering company with six government contracts and numerous corporate clients. Randolph has been running Juanita\u2019s Kitchen for eight years and she is now ready to expand. Randolph on Feb. 10 launched Sweet Butter, a pop-up restaurant that held three dinner seatings. It is a precursor to a bricks and mortar restaurant, which will be Randolph\u2019s first. She said to expect the restaurant in 2018 but plans may speed up to a 2017 opening in Overtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were looking in other places for a location,\u201d said Randolph. \u201cFor instance, North Miami is working on a food scene so we were keeping our options open. But Commissioner [Keon] Hardemon said he wants to see us open in Overtown in 2017. We sold out. There were people in line who thought they could still get in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Randolph isn\u2019t surprised by the success of Juanita\u2019s Kitchen, which is named after her grandmother, who is the inspiration for the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are consistent, always open and provide good food and great customer service. But we keep going for my grandmother,\u201d Randolph said. \u201cMy mom and my great-grandmother died about a month apart and it was really hard on my grandmother. My mother was the most grounded of my grandmother\u2019s three children so my mother\u2019s death was devastating to her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juanita\u2019s Kitchen started as a home-based business with Juanita helping to cook. Now that the business has grown and has its own chefs and cooks, Juanita still cooks, even though she doesn\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo see her happy and excited again, makes it all worthwhile,\u201d said Randolph of her grandmother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Randolph also is involved with Miami Millennial Investment Group, made up of friends from the Young Professionals Network Miami. The group is buying homes in inner cities communities, rehabbing and reselling. So far, they have bought two homes in Liberty City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInstead of complaining we are trying to revitalize these areas,\u201d said Randolph, who is now 32 years old.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
She is also president of the Young Professional Network Miami, an arm of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce and a board member of the chamber. When she\u2019s not busy doing all she is already doing, she is directing social change at the Woodson Institute Miami, which she co-founded. It is out of the Woodson Institute that the idea of the investment group was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born and raised in Miami Gardens, Randolph became a mother as a teenager. She attended Skyway Elementary School and American Senior High School. She went on to graduate from Florida International University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be a success, she said that young people have to look at their \u201cwhy\u201d \u2014 why they are doing things and where they came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t raised in a nice neighborhood. But I would see nice homes on TV and I knew I wanted that for myself,\u201d said Randolph. \u201cI knew I was going to college because at Skyway, Frederica Wilson was our principal and she shaped that into us.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Juanita\u2019s Kitchen founder shows spirit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"juanitas-kitchen-founder-shows-spirit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-02-24 07:05:01","post_modified_gmt":"2022-02-24 07:05:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dreamersnextgen.live-website.com\/?p=853","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_24"};
