She feels overwhelmingly fortunate to be witness to a period of substantial growth in Baton Rouge's artistic maturity. With that great privilege there are responsibilities to help nurture that growth in a positive way. Between that realization, being a mother, a lover of Belgian beer and aspirations of publishing this idea of Sweet Tooth was born.
