OUR STORY

Royal Zarasa Family

   Terrance was a college dropout when he met Tiffany in 2006. They built a friendship and this young couple married in 2007 and welcomed their first born child in 2008. Tiffany was a Homemaker, while Terrance worked as a direct care provider for the elderly and mentally disabled members of our community. Terrance later made a professional transition as a high school support teacher. While working at Simon Gratz high school Terrance went above and beyond his scope of work to serve as a youth mentor.

 

   Terrance and Tiffany recommitted to their educational aspirations, however caring for small children, working full-time hours, and being dedicated to their religious community rendered it too difficult for Terrance and Tiffany to re-enroll in college at the same time. Tiffany sacrificed for her husband and supported him to achieve whatever his heart desired. Terrance proved faithful in his religious studies and earned his credentials as a Sheik and Divine Minister of The Moorish Science Temple of America. Terrance also enrolled in Full Sail University in 2012 where he worked vigorously to earn his Bachelor of Science degree in Cinematography.

 

   Tiffany discovered her passion for cooking as a toddler. She often spent quality time observing her mother and grandmother in the kitchen. Eager to assist with picking greens and mixing cake batter, she longed for her time to run the kitchen. Tiffany prepared her first scrambled egg when she was only three years old.

 

Tiffany has completed coursework at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, where she learned many cooking techniques from some of the top culinary professionals on the East Coast. She loves to share her warm and comforting meals with her family and friends. Tiffany is a wonderful wife and mother of four young children, who has often put her own dreams and aspiration on the back burner while supporting others. One of her dreams is to own a successful chain of Food Trucks, and just as the journey of a 1000 miles begins with the first step, so a fleet of food trucks begins with the first truck.
