Fawn, thank you so much for your visionary leadership in building the Uncle Nearest brand. And for inviting and me for a quick bite at .

Long shorty short, representation really does matter and so does the honest retelling of history.

Happy March! This month's flavor is non other than strawberry. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits.
