We are honored and excited to announce that chef has been selected as an ambassador for .

The hospitality industry gives us purpose, creativity, and community — but it can also take a lot from us. As a Black chef, mental health is a conversation I believe we must continue to normalize and protect — in kitchens, in leadership, and beyond. This industry can be demanding, and too often we’re expected to be resilient without being supported.

Very grateful to support an organization that is actively creating space for real conversations, resources, and change within our industry.

Proud to stand alongside chefs and hospitality professionals who are working to take care of each other — on and off the line. Thankful for the opportunity to advocate, learn, and support others in this space.

Well look what arrived in the mail yesterday 😍

Merry Christmas to me 🥰

What started as an essay in Eater SF about anti-Blackness in fine dining turned into a follow up in a book. This took a lot of vulnerability from me. I guess I can add published author to my resume now 😁

Thank you Zoe Adjonyoh for the opportunity to be a part of this project 🙏🏿

Looking back on 2025, one of the highlights was participating in the restaurant pitch program.

The actual pitch? A bit of a trainwreck.
The lessons? Invaluable.

Looking forward to applying what I learned and continuing to build in 2026.
