Misuta Chows

There are people who move through a room like a quiet song you don’t realize you needed until it’s already part of you. That was Jenn.

She came in color and rhythm—music always close, laughter always ready, hands that knew how to mend what the world had worn thin. A gifted massage therapist, she carried healing in everything she did. She loved animals with an easy kindness, and people the same way—without asking them to be anything other than themselves.

If the wind could talk it would say her name softer. If grief could write poetry it would borrow her warmth and try, again and again, to get it right.

She was wild in the gentlest way. The kind that heals. The kind that runs with wolves but still stops to hold your face and remind you you matter.

Rest easy, Jenn. Your light stays with us—steady, undeniable, and forever part of who we all are.

To everyone who has ever been told to make themselves smaller so others could feel comfortable: never, EVER do it. This message is for you:

The comments on our recent Pride post were a painful reminder that hate still walks among us. Loudly. Proudly. Unapologetically.

But so do you.

For years, Misuta Chow’s was more than a restaurant. It was a gathering place. A refuge. A home away from home where people from every walk of life could sit at the same table, share a meal, laugh together, celebrate together, and simply be themselves.

That will always be what we stand for.

We will never apologize for supporting our LGBTQ+ family. We will never apologize for believing that every human being deserves dignity, respect, safety, and love. And we will never make room for hatred masquerading as morality.

Pride exists because generations of people were told they should hide, be ashamed, or disappear. Pride is the answer to that darkness. It is joy in the face of rejection. Love in the face of fear. Visibility in the face of erasure.

To those who feel targeted, attacked, or exhausted by the cruelty of others: we see you. We love you. We stand with you.

And to those who choose hate, know this: your voices may be loud, but they will never be louder than a community built on love.

The arcade may be quiet this year. The lights may be dim. But the spirit of this community burns as brightly as ever.

Today, this month, and every day after, we celebrate you exactly as you are.

Happy Pride, Buffalo.

🌈 Happy Pride, Buffalo 🌈

The streets may be filled with color today, but it’s the people who have always made this city shine.

We’re missing our Buffalo family a little extra this Pride. The friendships, the laughter, and the beautiful reminder that everyone deserves a place where they belong.

Wherever you are celebrating today, know that the Misuta Chow’s family is sending you love across every mile. May you be surrounded by joy, embraced for exactly who you are, and reminded that your light makes this world brighter.

Here’s to love that is fearless, community that feels like home, and the courage to live authentically—not just during Pride, but every day.

Happy Pride, Buffalo. We love you and we miss you terribly!
