Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent in restaurants. My dad, Gerald Wesley, is the Original Foodie. Dad took us to so many nice restaurants in the 90s and 2000s. One of our favorite restaurants was Pampy’s. It was a creole inspired restaurant in the Treme area. He wanted to expose us to the finer things in life. The things that he never had when he was a child growing up in New Orleans. Dad made sure all of his daughters graduated from college and he paid 100% for our educations from the time we were in elementary school. All three of his daughters attended and graduated from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

I salute my dad today and every day for providing an exceptional childhood for my sisters and I filled with love and intention.
