BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT

I’m Ashley Engle your neighborhood reporter in Quincy. Neighbors here and I have noticed this neighborhood’s downtown area grow in businesses.

I spoke with one business owner who is an army veteran who is opening up her business and adding it to the mix, and she says it’s mind-blowing.

A talent that Veronica Ashley-Reid has had for a very long time.

“I’ve been baking since I was about 5,” Reid said.

A dream that came to reality because of the ones she holds dear to her heart.

“I really got into specialty baking once I had my kids and I wanted them to have access to some of the healthier alternative things and I didn’t want to pay a million dollars for,” she said.

Sweet Abayomi.

Abayomi is Nigerian which means the bringer of happiness,” she said.

Bringing happiness to neighbors by having many different options at her bakery which is opening on the corner of North Adams Street and East Washington.
