Just wanted to share a behind the scenes, behind the screen, our faces. My face being on the left, and my supportive partner being on the right. While most of my work for this business this past year has not been publicized, he has supported me on this endeavor and my second business, Refillery 66.
It was actually through discussions where he listened to me ramble on and on, that I came to the conclusion that Dei’s Emporium needed to be split into two of more businesses to fully work as a business structure. It has been a process but every time I make a tweak or an edit on the new website (not published yet), I recognize that I am one step closer to my goals. In this process of becoming, I have become a better me with mi Amado by my side.
In this past year, Dei's Emporium, LLC. was recognized and I was recognied for Holistic Wellness CEO of the Year 2025 (USA): Dei Riddle
Business Leadership & Dedication Excellence Award 2025, he was there to celebrate with me in that moment. I also started Refillery 66, and began the work on that project. I’ve applied for grant funding and have worked towards different outcomes for the building out front. That we worked together to put a roof on and protect.
So far this year has been one of growth, recognition, and forward momentum. I look forward to seeing what we grow in the next year. Figuratively and actually 😜. Cheers to the future!
