Teresa and Michael first met in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, on the set of the movie "Like Mike". Michael was the film's screenwriter and Teresa, the mom and manager of the film's star Lil Bow Wow - who is now known as Bow Wow.

They met again in 2019, and this time, they could no longer ignore their extraordinary connection.  Their friendship soon expanded into the business sphere, and they simply are a perfect match.

Michael's entrepreneurial acumen joined with Teresa's creativity, sense of style and experience in the design industry, gave birth to The Taste Boutique - a shopping destination, where beautiful interiors and furnishing frame a selection of audacious yet elegant brands of ready to wear, home decor and gifts.
