Chazemon Fenderson found it difficult to work a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. job and improve the quality of her daughters’ lives. Of Bahamian descent, she started selling Caribbean-infused food in the back of her car and surprisingly earned $500 daily. She no longer sells in the back of her car. Her catering business, Drinks OnMe305, gained popularity and in 2018 was invited to the Kitchen Incubator, one of Martin Luther King Economic Development Corp’s (MLK EDC) programs in Liberty City.
