From the Kitchen, Back to Purpose
I’ve loved cooking and bringing people together for as long as I can remember. Long before I had a title for it, the kitchen was where I felt most at home: planning, preparing, and making sure everyone was taken care of.
Then came a season I never expected. After walking through homelessness, I found myself in Wilmington, North Carolina, searching for purpose again. I went back to what had always been mine and enrolled in the culinary program at Cape Fear Community College.
God’s favor met me there. I earned my Associate in Culinary Arts, received multiple scholarships along the way, and shortly after graduating I was invited back to speak at the alumni event. That same year, 2018, I started my own catering business.
