It is with the most profound grief that I share the news that my father has passed away. Most people joked that he was “aging backward.” Longevity was in his genes, as his mother recently celebrated her 102nd birthday. Thus, we never anticipated such a heartbreaking loss as he was always so full of life. He took his final breath at 11:56am yesterday, February 15, 2022, while surrounded by love.
The pain of this reality is indescribable. While so many knew him as Chef Willie, I knew him as my father, protector, backbone, best friend, and the most important person in my life. We had an unshakable bond.
I’ve set up a GoFundMe to raise money for my father’s final expenses, including creating a scholarship fund in his honor and completing several of his culinary projects. He did so much for so many but spent little time building for himself. If you knew and loved him, in lieu of flowers, please donate to this memorial fund so that his memory and legacy live on. He should still be here, but if God requires him to leave this world, he deserves to live on in a way befitting of his immense goodness—reflecting the many lives he touched.

In the coming weeks, I will share details regarding funeral arrangements. Thank you for your continued love and support. 💕 Brigantine, New Jersey
I had a fantastic stay at the @guildhousehotel in Philadelphia! As a historian, I’m obsessed with this beautifully refurbished boutique hotel and national historic landmark. Travel + Leisure Magazine named Guild House one of the world’s best new hotels!
HISTORY:
In 1882 a group of bold, forward-thinking women formed a club called the New Century Guild to support the growing number of working women in the city. The women of the Guild were an impressive group that included abolitionists, suffragists, activists, artists, writers, and more. As the group gained momentum throughout the end of the 19th century, they moved their headquarters a number of times. In 1906 they finally landed in the elegant Victorian manse at 1307 Locust Street — the same property that today holds Guild House hotel. For more than a century, the stately four-story rowhome was a hub of education, activism, and camaraderie for women who were out in the world making history.
Today, each luxurious Guild House room pays tribute to the intriguing women of the New Century Guild. Guests discover a different story in each of their twelve expansive salons and suites, all of which were designed by the female-owned-and-operated ROHE Creative.
ACCOMMODATIONS & PERKS:
-Five-star boutique hotel
-Impeccable “invisible” service: on call 24 hours a day
-Guests are texted a passcode to enter the building and their room before their stay (easy virtual check-in)
-Luxury amenities
-Curated experiences and personalized perks
MINORITY-OWNED PARTNERSHIPS:
To honor the legacy of social progress, community, and equality that the New Century Guild embodied for more than a century, they’ve partnered with minority-owned businesses in Philly and beyond.
See why I love it?! If you’re traveling to Philadelphia or if you’re from the area and want to plan a little staycation, I highly recommend this wonderful gem of a hotel. ✨💚

I had an AMAZING time judging the Miss Utah and Miss Colorado pageants! Thank you, Carly Condie, Landon Tooke, Nicole Kielbasa, Whitney Thomas, Madison Wilson, Valerie McKee, Camille Cottle, Jessica Orvin, Larry Razal, Mark Hinson, Mette Boving Castor, and Stacey James, for having me. They did an excellent job hosting and curating fantastic shows. Also, a huge thank you to my forever Miss Colorado, Stacey Putka, and forever Miss Utah, Karlie Major, for showing me around Denver and Salt Lake City!
While I was on the road, I met some fabulous fellow judges that I now call friends: Rachel Parcell, Najla Amundson, David Clegg, Dan Ellis, Kelly McKee Kucera, Daryl Schabinger, Tim Stevens, and James Klump! I also had the opportunity to listen to, engage with, and learn from two groups of beautiful, talented, and intelligent women competing for their state titles. I was truly blown away. They are the future. Congratulations to Savannah Cavanaugh and Lindsey Larsen!! I’m looking forward to watching you both compete in Miss America. Last and certainly not least, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to spend time with our current Miss America, Emma Broyles. You are one of the most talented and kindest people I’ve ever met. I hope you continue to have a wonderful year of service! 💕👑 #MissUtah #MissColorado #MissAmerica #Pageants Salt Lake City, Utah
