The pandemic prompted her to pivot toward family and wellness, turning a lifelong passion for cooking and design into a business. Raised in the Bahamas, she blends Caribbean flavors with global cuisine. The company plans a future 10+ acre botanical gardens venue in Castle Hayne, NC for celebrations, reunions, retreats and festivals.
