From Chick-Fil-A employee to owner | San Diego woman becomes only Black Chick-fil-A operator in the

Looking back on a 13-year journey from Chick-fil-A cashier to now owner, Amber Thomas is at a loss of words.
"It is humbling, and it is surreal. It has not hit me all the way yet,” Thomas said.
Thomas is a Serra Mesa High School and San Diego State graduate, who has lived all across the country from Virginia to Hawaii when her father served in the U.S. Navy.
Thomas has worked every job at the Sports Arena Boulevard Chick-Fil-A for eight and a half years from team member and cook to manager.

Wow!! So happy for her! I’m going to support this chick fil-a location since it’s not too far from me!

This is what the black community needs to see, hard work and determination, not that thug crap, get rich quick life the powers that be pushes on the community. The Hispanic community as well.

The American Dream is still alive if you strive. Never give up and work hard and smart.

[@SouLoveReal]

Not color, race, gender... but HARD WORK and DETERMINATION !!! I am so happy for her, but mainly because she's QUALIFIED - oh, and HAPPY - to do this. I hope she works her way UP even FURTHER in that company.

May God bless you Miss Amber Thomas. You may not remember but me, but we prayed together on the first day that you opened. I hope and pray that God blesses you substantially all the days of your life in the name of Yeshua I pray, I say yes and amen; declaring, decreeing, and believing that is already done ✨ hallelujah ✨ Selah ✨ Shalom ✨🕊️

You do a disservice to her when you point out she is black and a woman.(people will see that easily) Instead focus on how "specifically" she became successful with her skills. Then ask her to spend time going to elementary schools to invite kids from the inner city to see how a restaurant is run. The will do more for the community than anything else.

Great job young lady. Get another one and another one.

[@jamesjames7889]

Female business owners are awesome !!

[@alaric3056]

She can't just be an owner/operator? She has to be a black, female owner operator? What about the other black female owner operators (yes they definitely exist). Maybe you can do a vide on black left-handed small business owners next?

[@jeffreyb8770]

Ahem . . . the CFA in Sorrento Valley had multiple black female employees a year ago, now they're all gone. Quite the setback.

[@marioyanez238]

Only Black? So racist.
