Absolutely loved this - what a refreshingly, down to earth and honest perspective! In particular, I really appreciated the financial transparency - makes it easier to grasp some of the realities of entrepreneurship.

I have never clicked to read an issue faster - La Tejana is everything and I have such admiration for Ana-Maria!

Um saaaaame! You guys keep knocking it out of the park. My husband and I eat here every Friday morning to ease the blow of adulting so hard we have to have family meetings (on Friday mornings).

I love love love seeing a fellow pediatric Speech Therapist being featured! There is SO much more information we need on how to better assess multilingual individuals. It is something I am always thinking about. I wish I lived near DC to try out her restaurant too!

Super-inspiring! I love reading about people who are "more than one thing." And I have a soft spot for The Road Less Traveled - it was the first self help book I ever read - as a teen. And I don't think I really understood it so should prob revisit! 🙃

Lol, hard to understand MOST self help books when you're a teen!

Ah, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! La Tejana actually opened after I moved away from DC, so I cannot wait to get back this weekend and try it.

Loved this write-up, as a DC resident and fan of La Tejana (especially as I'm a Texan)! What a "renaissance" woman she is - giving back to her community in so many ways. An inspiring profile for sure!

Loved this!!! I am always asking people their jobs 😂 not out of a status check but because I feel like we pick these lanes so early in life when there are so many interesting professions out there.

I love love love La Tejana so much. And the fact that Ana-Maria and I wear the same scent has me feeling much cooler than I have any right to feel. :)
