Grateful. Humbled. Inspired. ❤️👩🏾‍🍳

Reading through the feedback from my Continuing Education classes at St. Louis Community College reminds me why I love teaching.

Seeing comments like:
👑 “Chef Queenie is a dynamic and skilled and inspiring teacher.”
👑 “Wonderful instructor.”
👑 “Chef Queenie was amazing! Outstanding! Definitely want to take more courses with her.”

…means more than you know.

I also appreciate the constructive feedback. Every class is an opportunity to grow. Whether it’s improving class pacing, providing more detailed take-home resources, or making the classroom easier to find, I take those suggestions seriously because I believe great educators never stop learning.

My goal has never been to simply teach recipes. I want to build confidence, preserve food traditions, create community, and help people feel empowered in the kitchen.

Thank you to every student who trusted me with your time, your questions, and your willingness to learn. Your feedback helps me become a better chef, instructor, and mentor.

I’m excited to continue creating engaging, hands-on culinary experiences and can’t wait to welcome even more students into my future classes.

Thank you, St. Louis Community College Continuing Education, for the opportunity to do what I love.

Keep learning. Keep cooking. Keep preserving the culture, one meal at a time. 🥕🌿❤️

Honored and grateful!

I’m incredibly humbled to be featured once again in Bold Journey Magazine. Every opportunity like this reminds me that saying “yes” to my purpose was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Obtaining my culinary degree continues to open doors, not just for me, but for the communities I serve. As a chef, educator, and advocate, I’m committed to using food as a tool to teach, heal, connect, and create opportunities for others.

This recognition isn’t just about me. It’s about every student I’ve taught, every meal I’ve prepared, every seed planted, and every person who believed in my vision.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey. The work is just beginning, and I’m excited to continue preserving culture, empowering communities, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impact.

Let's Preserve the Culture Together! 🌱

As a Culinary Arts graduate, food and farm educator, and founder of NeeuQ's The Experience LLC, I believe food is more than nourishment, it's culture, history, community, and legacy.

Through food and farm education, I teach gardening, food preservation, food systems, and practical life skills that help individuals and communities become more connected to their food and each other.

Whether you're a school, church, nonprofit, community organization, or simply someone who wants to learn, there's a place for you at the table.

Education matters.

After completing my Culinary Arts degree, I gained not only technical cooking skills but a deeper understanding of food safety, nutrition, menu planning, costing, and culinary leadership.

Training matters. Professional development matters. Continuous learning matters.

🌞 SNAP benefits have hit! If your family received Summer EBT benefits, make them go further this season.

🥕 Shop at farmers markets.
🌽 Buy fresh, local produce.
👩🏾‍🌾 Talk to local farmers—many have surplus produce and may offer discounts or extra items rather than let food go to waste.
🥒 Preserve what you can’t use right away by freezing, pickling, or canning it.

Food assistance is more than a benefit—it’s an opportunity to feed your family well and build food security.

Teaching myself to grill is my happy place!!
I bring the neighborhood out everytime I light this grill! I try to encourage them to participate. One of my lil babies said I want whatever you give me!! Just know I blessed her!!

I’m firing up the grill late this evening! 🔥

I’ve got a beautiful porterhouse steak, potato skewers, sweet corn, and fresh asparagus that are about to get my full attention. Cooking is truly my happy place. To be honest, I can cook in my sleep!

One of the reasons I rarely enjoy eating out is because I don’t trust the ingredients. I love knowing where my food comes from and using fresh, quality ingredients whenever possible.
