Lights, camera, expansion. 📺🔥
Team ABM pulled up with our guy @highfly_chi on WWL-TV to talk about what growth really looks like in the hospitality game — including the opening of the second Kenji location 👀🍜
From vision ➡️ execution ➡️ expansion… this is what happens when strategy meets opportunity.
Proud to stand beside our clients as they level up, scale up, and show the city what’s next. New Orleans, we’re just getting started. ⚜️

20 years later, and the water still lingers on my skin. I can close my eyes and still feel it..the heat, the hunger, the fear, the sound of thousands of souls crying out in the Superdome with nowhere to go.
I was a girl then. A girl with two younger brothers to protect, in the superdome with no air, no food, no answers. Fights breaking out. Darkness everywhere. Rape happening in corners and you hear the girls screaming. Food stolen just so we wouldn’t starve. Survival had no blueprint, but I knew one thing: I couldn’t let me nor my brothers die in there.
My mama..she was a nurse, a woman of God, and she chose her calling over her own safety. She stayed behind caring for the left behind, promising me she’d come right back to the bus. But when ours pulled away, she wasn’t on it. I remember being pressed against that window, crying, confused, holding on to a comforter I had menstrual bleeding through on the ride. That bus drove us into the longest ride of my life…to the Houston NRG Astrodome.
We were just three kids lost in a city we didn’t know, sleeping on cots, living off hope. And every day for almost two weeks, I went to those buses parked outside. I stood at the Verizon Wireless line everyday where they were recording videos of the displaced, praying one of them would be my mama.
Then one day, a volunteer tapped my shoulder while I slept. “We think we found your mom.” I ran, heart pounding, begging God not to let this be another false alarm. And then I saw it..her face on that tiny screen, saying she had been separated from her children and had been looking for us. I fell to my knees in tears.
A bus ticket in hand, miles ahead of us, but we made it to her in Fort Worth, Texas. It wasn’t a reunion for us, It was resurrection.
I share this because Katrina didn’t just take lives..it tried to take our dreams too. But I refused to let what I wanted for New Orleans die in that water. I came back. I came back to lead, to market the culture, to push our voice forward so the world knows our brilliance can’t be drowned.
20 years later, I’m still here. Not just surviving… but building, creating, and moving the culture forward for the city I love. ⚜️
The 2025 @prbrunch was a success. From the food to the energy, the networking, and the love in the room for our PR Honoree @dredog1911 was everything and more. We danced, we toasted, and yes… we did the absolute most! 😆💙💃🏾 New Orleans (my home), thank you for wrapping this Los Angeles born event in so much love. You made the transition feel like love. 🫶🏾⚜️
Thank you to my team of people, Michael & Lauren. You both took on the hurdles of planning this event with tenacity, forward thinking, and grace. Thank you so much🙏🏽
