2021 Rookie of the Year winner Grace Rawlins from Memphis Slims House of Blues said of winning this award:

“When I got nominated I literally did a happy dance – I was so happy I’d accomplished that! Going into awards night I was freaking out but I was like, if I don’t win I don’t win, at least I got nominated. So, when I won there was a moment where yeah, I cried – happy cried! All the team was really supportive … It means to me that I am on the right track to doing what I want to do in my career in hospitality. I worked hard for it, I’m going to stay working hard and see what I’ve got.”
