Nita Henry
Over the years, I have fondly, yet with a straight face, shared with my friends that I am writing a book called I have a Dream…and you’re not in it. No one really believes I will do it, but the impetus for me even saying it is something that I struggle with each day – when will we have a community with a coordinated dream where everyone is included?
Nita Mosby Henry grew up in the South – raised in Atlanta, where her earliest experiences of cooking began from watching her grandmother in the kitchen.
What’s my craziest job? Well, you would think traveling the globe as Nuclia Waste would be crazy enough. But Holly Kyleberg, owner of the top floors of the downtown D&F Clocktower, hired me last Christmas for a holiday wedding reception up inside the clockworks. I was to play Mrs. Santa Claus, having guests sit on my lap, taking photos and telling me what they really wanted.
When it came time for the bride and groom to take their turn, they both got quite frisky on my lap. Not with each other – with me. Then they both invited me back to their hotel room for a ménage à trios honeymoon. I declined and continued to enjoy the rest of the night drinking champagne, mingling with the guests and being a ho, ho, ho. And to think I get paid to do this. I love my life.
