Meet Yizza Rodriguez, wife, mom, and female entrepreneur in my community of Pike Road. We met over Instagram, I had been eyeing her delicious looking grazing boards and boxes, and I sent her a message to see if she wanted to share her growing business here, to inspire others! She does not disappoint! New country, new language barriers, state rules and regulations did not stop her from finding her support system and staying focused on what brings her joy, connecting with her customers in their moments of life celebrations. Today, Yizza shares how she took a way to share an experience with her family to a growing small business with an awesome customer base. Cheers!
