Immigrant Entrepreneur: Marie Capita

Marie immigrated from Haiti when she was very young. She started her entrepreneurship journey after getting her law degree and starting her own practice with a business partner. Her entrepreneurial career didn't end there.

She left the practice and started a bakery business with her husband. Since they went through a divorce, she decided to give that up as well.

Although she got a County job and worked a desk job, she wasn't giving up on her entrepreneurial spirits. It was when she had a near death experience when she realized she wanted to do more in this life and make a difference.

That's when Taste of Immokalee was born.
