Today we’d like to introduce you to Tracy Perry.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tracy. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I’m originally from Memphis, Tennessee I will start by saying I moved to Houston in 2013. Looking back and remembering how everything was and still is in God’s plan and timing!! I remember the talks I had with my grandmother (Annie B.) and my mother n law Maria (Cuca) as I nursed these two women of God as they entrusted and instilled so many valuable things in me. They always told me that I would be ok. Missing these two beautiful spirited women as this year and month marks 13 years of their passing and Birthdays!! Just thankful, grateful and humble!! I am living proof that God will Repair, Restore and Renew your Life. A College graduate (June 2013) with (Masters in Science (Human Resource Management), a broken marriage, a broken heart; I left my hometown; (Memphis Tennessee), my accounting job, my house and headed Houston Texas; seeking resolve, success and healing.
I came to Houston with $600, my footstool, my car, my tv and tons of bills and school books. Here and now; six years later, The Good Lord has done it for me!! I have a career!! I am a business owner and God sent me my forever Lifetime partner, best friend and husband. I remain humble amongst everything and allow God to do his work. He will do it for you!! Have a great day! Share this to encourage someone today!! As my sis n law say, “I Cooked to Glory” through it all! I now have a soul food and Mexican business!! DBA Soul Y Mex Kitchen!!
All in all, I have raised four children, graduated from college, nursed two family members, been married divorced and remarried this year June 2, 2019. God had been good to me!!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
No, the road has been rocky! My challenges were balancing a full-time job and becoming and entrepreneur!! But I have managed this far.
