This Blog Is a Love Letter

Five years ago, I listened to my higher self and chose a different path — one rooted in compassion, alignment, and healing.

It all began during a quiet season of reflection in 2020, in our condo, where I first sat with the truth of what my body, spirit, and purpose needed. That moment shifted everything. I started my plant-based journey not just to feel better — but to be better. For myself, for animals, for the planet.

I found inspiration in beautiful souls like Tabitha Brown, John Lewis, Dominick Thompson, and Torre Washington — people who showed me that veganism isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s a way of life. A bold, joyful, freeing one.

Moving to LA in 2021 opened up an entirely new chapter. I didn’t just find good food — I found a community. I found creativity. I found me.

Since then, I’ve fallen in love with the art of documenting my journey — visiting some of the most exciting plant-based spots across Los Angeles and beyond. From dreamy corners of Hawaii and the soulful streets of Seattle to the colorful flavors of Cabo — every trip, every bite, every connection has made me more intentional.

And the most beautiful full-circle moment? My mama is now on her own plant-based journey too. Watching her step into it has been the most heart-filling part of it all.

This blog is a love letter to those moments. The meals, the memories, the meaning behind it all. It’s where I get to slow down and write — not just review. To honor the restaurants, the people, the culture, and the story behind the plate. Think of it as food journalism with soul.

I created this space to go deeper. And to go farther. I’m ready to travel more. I want to take this energy around the world — and if you’re a brand aligned with that vision, I’m open and excited to collaborate.

And because storytelling is in everything I do, I created a sound to go with this journey — an original instrumental titled “First Taste.” Inspired by my love for Afrobeats and the rhythms that move me, this track is playful, cinematic, and full of flavor — just like the food stories I plan to share here.
