Growing up in the Jacksonville, Florida beaches, like a lot of adventurous spirits, she moved away to discover just how special home really was. Returning is part of her story — returning to recognize the beauty of Jacksonville and the beaches, along with family and deep rooted friendships. Her love for home and family with a big vision for a bean to bar chocolate shop — Makenu Chocolate in Atlantic Beach, Florida — was born during the pandemic and is a result of bringing all of her past and present into right now.\n\nJess’ previous life was as a therapist. Her psychology background and soft demeanor hold a natural attraction. And her knowledge for chocolate is crystal clear when she starts talking about her sweet craft. Makenu Chocolate is a result of faith and patience, vision, sustainability, and beauty. And every taste and a visit to the shop provides a little touch of chocolate therapy. \n\n\n"}
