Black-Owned Restaurant #15: Healthy Nibbles

Between school, work, and my recent decision to sign myself out of foster care, my emotions have been all over the place. I just had no idea my “November’s Journey” would take so much energy out of me.

Right before I left work, I randomly selected “Healthy Nibbles” and made my way to this black-owned restaurant in Brooklyn. When I arrived, I asked one employee if this was a black-owned restaurant? He told me “Yes.” I guess I was a bit surprised since I was the only customer and there wasn't any music playing. After ordering my turkey burger and fries (which was amazing), I sat there alone, and I thought to myself why in the world did God bring me here this evening. I had bonded with the two employees before my meal came out but tonight didn't feel like my previous 14 restaurants, something was different. As I sat there alone trying to figure out why God brought me to this restaurant, it felt as if a lightbulb went off in my mind and it all made sense to me. God knows I am tired mentally and emotionally, so He didn't send me to a black-owned restaurant with loud music or with unrelenting traffic, but a place I could enjoy my well-earned meal alone in peace and quiet. As I sat there, it felt as if I rented Healthy Nibbles for the night and I was the only guest on the list. Of course, this wasn't the case, but just to sit back and to be able to hear my thoughts, and enjoy my meal in peace, was truly a blessing.




Thank you, Healthy Nibbles, for being a part of my journey. Before I met you tonight, my journey was in the express lane, thank you for slowing me down and helping me to remember to take this journey, literally, one bite at a time.
