For Thalia and her family, "Belong to something bigger" means opening doors to what’s possible. Her husband Livingston started Livie's Jamaican Restaurant 17 years ago. For the past three years, they’ve thought about relocating to accommodate more customers and have space to host special events. ESL helped bring that dream to life.

“We know Livie's can’t exist without all who visit us, and we don’t take that lightly. We see the bigger picture.”

Thalia says they don’t see Livie’s as just a restaurant. It’s about sharing a little piece of Jamaica with everyone. They also support the community with an annual family fun day. “We know Livie's can’t exist without all who visit us, and we don’t take that lightly. We see the bigger picture,” Thalia said.
