Who is your culinary inspiration?Gordon Ramsey is my inspiration he’s stern and loving at the same time and tells it like it is I love that guy.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay all my debts, open a food truck and open shelter in my local area so they can get on their feet or start an organization to help people in need. I use to be homeless I want to share with people that helped me at my lowest. I also have alopecia so I would love to get a laser scalp treatment so I can feel beautiful again .
