Food is my passion and cooking is what I enjoy. I grew up watching my mom [Joyce] in the kitchen, and my dad [Leslie] on the grill. They would prepare meals with love for my siblings [Bridgette, Yulanda, Derrick, and Lakela] and I, and the expressions on everyone’s face always amazed me. I knew that I one day wanted to have that sort of impact on people. Following in my parent’s footsteps, I have been cooking since the age of 12, with no formal culinary training; I began (and continue) to cook with love, just as my parents did. I’ve built quite the reputation among family and friends, and am ready to share my gift with the world.
