Her passion for service and leadership continued through her work with the United States Postal Service before she stepped out on faith to launch Erica’s Soulfood Restaurant, known for its signature slogan, “Love At First Bite.” Today, Erica continues to expand her influence as an entrepreneur, motivational leader, celebrity chef, and visionary, using her gifts to open doors in industries she once only dreamed about.
