I was initially inspired by my mother who loved providing home made meals. She also owned a Soul Food restaurant in times when opportunities for minorities weren’t easy to come by. I worked side by side with her as a tween. As I became an adult I realized I had inherited that same passion for homemade cooking! The Food Network has become my educator.
