At the heart of everything I do is a love for Black agriculture, supporting Black-owned businesses, and making sure everyone has a seat at the table. I come from a Black Southern family rooted in North Carolina, where I was raised in a rich food culture that shaped who I am today. My grandfather owned a local grocery store and later in life worked to help small food businesses break into major retail chains — and that spirit drives me. Through the content I create and the media platforms I’ve built, I’m focused on closing the gap in marketing and bringing more visibility to Black- and Brown-owned food businesses and agriculture.
