Future restaurant plans focus on specific culinary visions
βI have a lot of ideas for the kind of restaurant I want to open when I'm older, focusing on the food I love and a great atmosphere. Itβs a dream of mine to have a physical place where I can share my favorite meals with people in person.β
βI didn't really expect the food reviews to go viral like they did, but people just seem to like seeing what's going on in central Florida. It's been a wild ride seeing how many people connect with the clips and just want to follow along with what I'm eating every day.β
Cystinosis awareness requires dedicated family foundations
βThe Strickland Hope Foundation is so important to my family because Cystinosis is something we deal with and we want to help other parents navigate it. Itβs about building a community where people donβt feel alone when they get that diagnosis for their kids.β
βA lot of people comment on my vibe and I think it's just because I'm being myself and not trying to put on a show. When you're just honest about who you are, people tend to gravitate toward that because it's hard to find realness sometimes.β
