Who or what inspires you to cook?

To be totally honest, it’s really hard to explain because my bonus, dad and his mom passed away when I was young, but it was also another woman. All three of these people have put me in the kitchen. Then my grandmother put me in the kitchen and once people start tasting my food and the reaction that I will get from them tasting and experiencing my flavorand my skills it made me so happy to put a smile on people face and how they enjoy my food how they wanted more and more for me

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Everything is my all-time favorite dish to make specially when I’m happy and I feel the love and I want to make everybody smile and I wanna hear what they’re gonna say about their experience of them trying my food. Whatever comes my way in that moment I make it my favorite dish Cooking is my love language

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’ve always wanted my own restaurant. I will try to do anything and everything I can with this 25,000 to make a fraction of my dream come true and that is just serving my community and letting everyone try my food my food ideas my creations that are in my head And hearing their expressions and seeing their expressions is what drives me to make food for people I try to tell a story with my food and I like for people to go somewhere when they taste it I never been to school for cooking.
