LoveMe is a series featuring LGBTQ thought leaders reading personal letters to their younger selves.
Chloe Dahl and Nikki Booth's romance was long-distance when they first got together. Both were studying hospitality — but Nikki was at the University of Hawaii and Chloe was in L.A. When they were together, however, they bonded over their mutual love of food. Unable to afford their lobster roll habit, they started making their own. That led to the opening of
Knuckle & Claw, an L.A.-based lobster shop. The duo made it onto
Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.
Watch as
both promise their younger selves that in the future, they will have a hot partner who will love them for who they are.
