Assalaamu alaikum Everyone,

I begin my story with this prayer for myself, family, friends, and neighbors (everyone who takes time and read this to the end.)

I pray and believe that no weapon formed against me shall prosper; because. HE is my rod an my staff and HE hold me steady and upright. I pray and believe HE gave me this vision (light) and salvation; and, HE is the strength in my light and I need to never fear anyone or anything. He says, HE is the Head and not the tail; and I am more that a conqueror. Amen

I believe everyone who likes a little extra tasty flavor and experience of heat will benefit from "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce." Everyone from the chef's in the large restaurants looking for something new; to the small family owned grills; to the backyard chef's.  Because, "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce" grows on you bite after bite after bite. 

Here's a little of my story. 

I am in the either the late fall or early winter season of my life and it has been very challenging  physically, mentally, and financially as far back as I can remember. 

My Mother saw to it that she gave us excellent
manners, and the best educational foundation available in the country she could give us access to.  I pray that God blesses her soul wherever she is.

In my humble beginnings we lived in Buffalo, New York until I was 7 years old and it was quite the culture shock when we moved to Mason City, IA.  For me, Mason City became HOME were I met family and made lifelong friendships.  I still refer to it as home were my family and friends love me for me and I love most of them for them.

As a child, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen watching my elders prep meal, entertain and just relax. I acquired a love for good home cooked food and it prepared me for this phase of my life working in a grill as a cashier, stock person, precook, and assistant cook. 

I came in contact with a relatively new seasoning and sauce that were in the market and industry respectively.
I thought about the ingredients and flavors for years before I started blending them and came up with the sauce. I went through a lot of names that I thought most people would like before choosing "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce."

I am not a hot sauce connoisseur; but, I wanted something that has a busy flavor and then you could experience the heat. So, I began preparing "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce" in 2017.

I made "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce" in an industry approved kitchen and asked the customers of the establishment to help me with a market analysis.  I trusted their opinions as we have a working respect with each other. I know how particular they are about how we handle and taste of their food. 

We have customers from as far as California, Washington, Texas, Florida, and New York. They say, " we always stop here when we're in town because we miss your cooking." "We don't have anything like this were we live."  We have received a variety of reactions leading to promises of returning; as, this is now their all-time designated place to eat in Minnesota. 

Once, I noticed which of the mixtures the majority of the customer gravitated towards and I was on my third batch, I solicited the help of a company that has been helping people to prepare to market and realize their dreams and goals.

These funds will help me to present "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce" to several successful major companies that have been in existence for many decades. I am now in the second major phase of this preparation. However, due to several unforeseen incidents; with one that only by the grace of God has kept me alive and healthy to continue this journey. My primary income was cut in half and I an in need of your help, NOW.

So, with the property owners permission, I took on a house guest.  That was short lived; and, then along came COVID-19.  To further complicate progress, the owner sold the property and gave me two weeks to relocate. 

Then the blessings began. True friend SHOW UP when you NEED them. A Sister in faith directed me to a place that was offering an affordable room in their lovely home just two day before I was considering what looked like homelessness. I knew I could go HOME to IA; but, I needed to stay steadfast.

Your support will help me launch this product onto a store shelf near you.  I taken my time and have received only positive responses from the market research. Many customers are now requesting "Amari's Do What It Does Hot Sauce." My story may seem long and arduous; but, every word of it is true.  As I hit each keystroke, I am praying to God (Allah) to continue bless me and find favor in me for continuing to hold on to HIS hand through these trials and tribulations; so, that I am able to establish this legacy for my existing Grand-children and the future ones (seen and unseen.)
