🎉 A Warm Welcome and a Hearty Update from Chef Shanita 🎉
Hello, wonderful people! It’s been a minute, and I’m thrilled to reconnect with each of you here. Whether you’ve been part of my journey from the start or are just joining in, grab a seat at the table. You’re in for a treat!
I’m Chef Shanita, a Kansas City chef with a big dream: to make the world a better place, one meal at a time. From falling in love with cooking as a teen to embarking on a professional culinary adventure at Johnson County Community College, every step has been a leap towards making a difference.
Through The Prospect KC, launched in 2019, my goal is to serve up solutions to food insecurity, unemployment, and housing instability, all while stirring in some serious love and dedication. 🍲❤️
Serving on the boards of Harvesters, the Greater KC Food Policy Coalition, and Lazarus Ministries KC, I’m pouring my heart into every endeavor. From attending a James Beard Foundation’s Chef Bootcamp to being part of the historic White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, it’s been an incredible ride.
Thank you for being here, for sharing this journey with me, and for believing in the power of change through community and cuisine. Let’s continue to cook up some magic together!
