đŸŒ±Teach Them to Fish🍃

TEACH THEM TO FISH How do you empower your children as you take your family on a journey to better eating and living? One of my clients recently called me, feeling a bit frustrated. She couldn’t figure out what to feed her picky son. He was stuck in his ways, only eating a handful of familiar foods like chicken nuggets and potato bites. She loved our meal prep options but, when doing the math, creating a separate meal plan for her toddler didn’t quite seem practical, especially when trying to...

YOUR LINEAGE MAY BE A MIRROR OF WHAT YOUR FUTURE HOLDS I had a heart-to-heart conversation with a dear friend recently. She was visibly anxious, her voice tinged with concern, as she spoke about her family’s medical history. Diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer
 these weren’t just words to her—they were real, lived experiences woven into the fabric of her family’s story. And as I sat there listening to her, it made me pause and reflect. Do we really stop to ask the right questions about our...

BEING PLANT-BASED...YOU'RE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK When I first began my work as a lifestyle medicine health coach and chef, I was very intentional about not using the word vegan in my marketing—even though I’m often pigeonholed into that category. Back then, and honestly even now, vegan felt like a heavy word. It sounded like sacrifice
 like a red pen slashing through all the foods people love. And that just didn’t sit right with me. Because the work of a health coach? It’s not about snatching...

LOCK IN...FIND YOUR PURPOSE WORK! Ever felt like there was something more you were supposed to be doing—but you just couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Like there was more to who you were meant to be, more to what you were meant to practice
 maybe even your ministry? After seven long, grueling years in grad school, I finally defended my dissertation in Mathematics Education. I had landed my dream job as a college mathematics professor. This was what I had trained for, prayed for. I had...

CHANGING EVERYTHING...CHANGES EVERYTHING It’s hard to believe this photo of me and my bestie, Dr. Tyus, was taken almost a decade ago. What you can’t see from our backs in that picture is that I was 40 weeks pregnant — belly full, body heavy, teetering on the edge of new life. I was quite literally laboring, preparing to welcome my second child. Dr. Tyus had flown in from Washington, D.C. to be with me, not just as my best friend, but as part of a deeper, spiritual support team. Her mom came...

IT HURTS!...BUT DO DAT SH!T ANYWAY In the early part of February, life came at me fast — literally. My family and I were driving back from a weekend trip. We saw a bunch of friends that we hadn't seen in a while and felt like the trip was generally productive. Out of nowhere, a deer leapt onto the highway, with no time to swerve. The impact was loud... violent... and jarring. All the airbags deployed around us. Metal twisted, glass shattered, and just like that, our car was totaled. We sat...

WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THE VEGGIES ARE GONE? Did you know that every time you make a purchase, you’re shaping the market? Your food choices influence what’s available, what thrives, and what disappears. Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with a friend who is an urban farmer. We shared our excitement about offering fresh, diverse produce and products to our customers, pouring our passion into every item we grow and create. But there’s a harsh reality—when these carefully cultivated foods...

Address Your Thirst First One of my customers recently opened up to me about their struggle with hunger. They described themselves as a voracious eater and felt like they weren’t getting enough food in their meal prep boxes each week from us. At first, I was surprised—most of my other customers actually say they have more than enough to eat. So, naturally, I got curious. I reached out to this customer because I genuinely wanted to understand what was going on. I told them, “I’m concerned to...

You've Been Bamboozled! Recently, my cousin came down from New York for a visit, and as always, we got into some deep conversation. Our chats are always rich—family, personal growth, entrepreneurship—we cover it all. There’s something special about connecting with someone who just gets you, someone who sees the world in a similar way and isn’t afraid to go there in a conversation. This time, we were talking about our careers, the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and the things we’re working...

Giving Up Things In Order to Heal Growing up in Brooklyn, surrounded by my rich Guyanese roots, food was more than just something we ate—it was a way of connecting, celebrating, and feeling at home. Our kitchen was always alive with the smell of fresh-baked breads, holiday cakes, fragrant curries, soft rotis, cheese straws, and all the little pastry treats that made life sweeter. These dishes weren’t just about flavor; they held stories. They brought us together during holidays, lazy Sundays,...
