Fit for a Queen: Nakesha White and the ‘Royalty Eats’ Brand

We took some time to reminisce about life as children growing up in Charlottesville. She reached deep down and said exasperatingly, “Sarad, I got it out the mud. You gotta go get it. I try not to ever let the sun beat me up.” She gave a testament to her grind and the hard work it takes to accomplish so much, seemingly so fast.  “I couldn’t have done it without my mom.
