Description

Employee caregiver stress doesn't stay at home. It follows employees to work: driving burnout, absenteeism, quiet quitting, and turnover. Yet 87% of companies exclude caregivers from their DEI strategy.

Following her mother's stroke, Chef Maria closed her bakery in Normal, Illinois and became a full-time caregiver for her mom. After her mother's passing, Chef Maria introduced Beyond Decadence as a pop-up bakery serving Lake Norman and Charlotte clientele.

Adapting through the pandemic, the business morphed away from dessert catering and nationwide shipping to DEI dessert experiences, team-building experiences, and speaking engagements, combining her passion for pastry and diversity.
