turned 9 in July. I was very intentional about the name of my brand when I chose it; it’s an invitation to join me on my culinary journey. That journey doesn’t always look like me in the kitchen, but it DOES always look like me around food. I appreciate everyone who’s been here since I was cooking out of my house on Douglas St. in undergrad just as much as I do those who have been here since I taught them a corporate class a few months ago. Thank You. Here’s to the journey —
2022 : BTS of my 2nd on camera food styling gig with Yahoo (In The Know Eats).
2021 : to cater my dear friend ‘s bachelorette party in New Orleans.
2020 : — The birth of virtual instruction.
2019 : My first full time job in the industry, but not in the kitchen, as a Catering Coordinator for Mr. Bing. Grew so much. I miss my team.
2018 : Landed my only ever culinary dream job as a cook for Cirque du Soleil—& traveled with my show to Boston.
2017 : — The weekday, prepared meal program that people are begging me to bring back to this day 😅
2016 : The biggest catering gig I’ve executed. Kansas City, MO. 150 ppl. 3 courses, with multiple entree options. Thank you big sis - .
2015 : - The final event series I hosted before leaving DC. Lots of collaboration and lots of support. Always. Thank y’all.
2014 : The with a dear photographer friend , who featured a variety of artists on her black wall in home in VA. These shots will likely make the book.
2013 : My VERY first job as a line cook, making desserts at Vapiano in Chinatown in DC.
I can’t believe we’re 9, y’all. So many things have happened and I still feel I have so far to go. Do you have a favorite moment? Feel feee to scroll the feed.

The first of 12 videos I shot for at Yahoo.com is live. I’m very grateful to have been tapped for this on camera styling opportunity. I don’t think there are enough Black hands shown making beautiful food on large platforms, so being selected by the director means more than he probably even knows. I’ll be posting some BTS soon. Pretty stoked in this moment & just wanted to share. Keep cooking, y’all! ✨ 🍩
