So excited to welcome Kadijah to Roswell Rotary Club. Here's a little bit about Kadijah in case you are one of the few members who have not already met her. Whether at Thursday meetings or at The Vick or out in the community, Kadijah may already be a familiar face!

Growing Up: Kadijah Jordana Vickers born in Tampa Florida to parents Sylvia & Kenneth Vickers both natives of Florida. 

Spouse: Husband George Schnepp, who is the Executive Chef & Food and Beverage Directory of the Westin Hotel Buckhead. George is also a silent partner with Kadijah at The Vick on Canton and assists her in the Food and Beverage department.

Children: She is the mother of two children, daughter Keyana Crumby who is attending the University of West Georgia majoring in Biology, and son,  Joel Ramsey, a rising Junior at North Springs High School.

Other involvement in community: Kadijah is well connected in the community as a member of The Roswell Woman’s as well as Brookfield Woman’s Club, she also is a certified sponsor of Cottage Schools working with them on all special events. 

Career & Education:  Kadijah previously specialized in mortgages and was a licensed realtor while living in Florida. Back in 2007 when the market crashed she decided to venture out to pursue her new found purpose. Kadijah relocated to Atlanta Georgia in order to pursue a culinary career specializing in hospitality.

She attended Le Cordon Bleu in Tucker Georgia graduating in 2016 with an Associates degree in Culinary. After graduation Kadijah worked for a few start-up restaurants learning the business both front of the house and back. 

Story Behind THE VICK: After the covid pandemic hiatus, staying home maintaining life on just a small catering business, Kadijah decided to use her father’s inheritance, after his passing to step out on faith and start her own business. During the search for a property through a website called “We sell Restaurants.com” she found the listing that sat in the retail portion of The Vickers Apartment complex. Being that her last name is Vickers she had no choice but to be present in that serendipity moment and purchase and restore the business to what is now The Vick On Canton “Koffee and Kocktails”.

Why you joined Rotary: My purpose in life is to serve. As the owner of a local restaurant in Roswell and a mother of two, I do my share of service in the community. Now that my children are older, I would like to take my works of service global. During my visits to the weekly Rotary meetings and through conversations with my sponsorship committee I know that Roswell Rotary would be perfect for me to expand on my acts of service. I just can’t wait to get involved and become active. 

Welcome to the Roswell Rotary Club, Kadijah!
