Founded by mother Lamarick Alexander and daughter Gloriaetta Alexander, both of whom are committed former educators, this initiative aims to address the needs of both children and senior citizens. With Lamarick's extensive experience working in leadership, special education, and being a mother of four children who all attended college and Gloriaetta's background as an educator and mother of three children, they identified a significant gap in the community. Both ladies own a local business called Sweet Sensations.
