WELCOME.
With over 3,000 new followers joining us in the last two weeks, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
I am a mother of three.
An award-winning vegan chef.
The founder of My Mama’s Vegan.
And the creator of a restaurant recently recognized as one of the best vegan experiences to visit in the country.
I’m also a woman who chose to start over after 50.
I’ve built businesses, lost things, rebuilt, healed, and learned that sometimes the greatest gift you can give yourself is permission to become someone new.
I’ve lived in different cities searching for healing, peace, and purpose.
Somewhere along the way, this journey stopped being just about food and became about freedom.
The freedom to choose myself.
The freedom to heal.
The freedom to create a life that feels aligned with who I am becoming.
My story is filled with long days, hard lessons, answered prayers, unexpected setbacks, and moments when I had to trust myself even when nothing around me made sense.
I love creating beautiful food, traveling, wellness, storytelling, and helping people reconnect with themselves through what they eat and how they live.
Most importantly, I’m still building.
The woman you see today is not the final version.
She’s the result of every risk, every lesson, every victory, every loss, every prayer, and every decision to keep showing up.
So whether you’re here for plant-based food, wellness, entrepreneurship, travel, or because you’re figuring out your own next chapter...
Welcome.
You’re arriving in the middle of a story that’s still being written.
And I have a feeling the best pages are ahead.
❤️
Chef Dee
Founder, My Mama’s Vegan
