A survivor of Hurricane Katrina, Kevyn Lee-Wellington isn't about to have a couple of vandals break his spirit.
"I am an African-American gay entrepreneur," said Lee-Wellington."And one thing I know is that I come from a heritage of people who have the strength to get up, get through and get over all the obstacles that come their way."
Despite the sweetness behind the business, Lee-Wellington's shop has faced its fair share of challenges — including a few run-ins with vandals. "Everything is shattered so what we had to do to protect the store is to board everything up," he said."Luckily, we have really strong glass on the second pane window."
Nearly two decades ago and freshly out of college Lee-Wellington narrowly survived Hurricane Katrina with very little to his name.
