A beautiful, unforgettable day at Newsday Headquarters! So incredibly proud of how far this journey has taken me. 🔗❤️
From arriving in the US 33 years ago, not speaking English, and cleaning houses to standing on the Newsday TV set today—moments like this bring tears of absolute joy to my eyes. 🥹❤️
Today’s Breakfast & Brand event at Newsday Headquarters was incredible! So many people already knew TerraNut, which feels completely surreal. But the absolute highlight of my day was meeting the amazing Macy Egeland. Hearing a respected journalist tell me she genuinely loves our raw, clean-label snacks validated every single struggle, tear, and late night it took to build this business.
At 62 years old, freshly certified as a Suffolk County Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), I have never been prouder to be the CEO of TerraNut. It is never too late to rebuild, tell your true story, and live your American Dream. 🥜✨
Thank you, Macy, for your beautiful energy and kindness. You truly made my day!
