NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Pre-orders for the upcoming autobiographical release that tells the story of widely regarded entrepreneur Mignon François, founder and CEO of The Cupcake Collection (TCC) are now available at www.rhboyd.com/madefromscratch.
Set for release on May 9th, Made from Scratch: Finding Success Without a Recipe is the story of a woman moving beyond her obstacles to find success with no presets, mapping a journey that led to the joy that has become synonymous with Mignon François.
In Made from Scratch, François shares her story of climbing out of a life of upsets, setbacks, struggle, and lack, to building a brand and legacy to bless her and future generations.
“All you have is all you need,” is the life lesson entrepreneur François learned as she turned the five dollars she had to feed her family dinner for the week into a multi-million-dollar bakery brand. With no experience and no recipe for success, nor cake for that matter, her path was truly made from scratch.
François is a speaker, entrepreneur, and community leader who has inspired thousands through her “Follow Your Spirit” approach to life. Since The Cupcake Collection was founded in 2008, she has sold more than five million cupcakes and has turned the brand into a family legacy.
François and the phenomenal story of TCC have been featured on NBC’s TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, as well as such publications as Southern Living, Entrepreneur, and Business Insider to name a few. Her success has garnered numerous awards, such as Woman of Legend and Merit, Entrepreneur of the Year, Women’s Empowerment Innovator, NAACP Powershift Entrepreneur, and Black Enterprise magazine’s Family Business of the Year.
Since its founding in 1896, R.H. Boyd has taken seriously the charge to print, publish, and distribute resources with a targeted focus on African-American communities.
“Our company has always served as a voice for the unheard and our desire for this partnership is to empower our community to take control of their narrative and to tell their story,” says Dr. LaDonna Boyd, fifth-generation R.H. Boyd president/CEO. “We need storytellers now more than ever who won’t allow others to speak for them.”
