. TASHARA SIMILIEN 

Entrepreneur, Instructor, Business Coach and Connoisseur. Born in 1972, in Miami, Florida, Tashara Similien is an entrepreneur who has distinguished herself in the hospitality industry particularly in setting up restaurants, franchises and a company dedicated to advising clients on liquor licensing within the state of Florida. With a chain of franchises currently owing their existence to her expertise, Tashara is certainly not a new comer and has in fact left nobody in doubt that she is one of the finest hospitality licensing experts around. Some of the hospitality businesses that owe their successful openings to her includes the popular Los Tacos and the I Love Tacos franchises, La Rural Parkland Argentinian Steak House and the Hotel Morrison in Dania Beach, Florida to name a few. The mother of one traces the development of her craft to her time working as a regulatory specialist for the state of Florida on liquor and tobacco licensing. But this is certainly not the genesis of her expertise because as Tashara says of herself, “the hospitality business comes naturally to me, I am someone who took what she knew and learned how to make a living out of it”.
