Who or what inspires you to cook?

I lived a shelter. I’d never forget Ms. Regina(manger) picking up her phone and calling an owner in Carson and asked “Have you ever had a lamb chop that melted in your mouth?!”And from that moment I knew I had some skills in the kitchen. I was sent on interview and was offered the job. Unfortunately, I was never reached back out too and I followed up. I didn’t let that stop me. I kept cooking and selling plates. I continued to master my skills.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

As of now recreating or creating dishes using blueberries has been my all time favorite so far ❣️

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d be able to get a bigger place for my daughter and I. I’d be able to pay off loans that have been sent to collections and enroll in culinary school. I have to make some payments before I can get them forgiven. And that’s what holding up my financial aid process. I’d be able to get my car fixed. I want to get my LLC, I want to either start out with a food truck and work my way up to a restaurant. God will place me in the right room, and I have faith.
