How did you start your biscuit delivery service, Sundays Only?
I (Tembe) have been posting my partner Connay's food for years. People have been invested in the food she makes for a while, so when I posted a batch of biscuits she made, people were understandably excited. I liked the batch of biscuits so much, I started asking her to make them a few times a month. She would make them every time we had company, and I started filming our guest's reactions to the biscuits. Soon people started asking how they could get their hands on a batch. Fast forward to the beginning of quarantine, we decided to sell them. Our first run was about 15 people, and from there, the rest is history.
What's your favorite part about the New York creative community?
How connected it is. In my experience, everyone is rooting for each other and wants to see each other achieve their goals. Also, everyone's ridiculously talented. Collaborating with my friends often means working with people who are shaping their industries as a whole. It's a privilege.
What's inspiring you right now?
My community. Post-pandemic, so many people have emerged laser-focused on their craft and it inspires us to keep growing and expanding our business.
