Hey!! Iโm Jama, the face behind Lullaby Vegan!
As most of you know, Iโm usually a behind-the-scenes kind of girl, but I figured it was time for an introduction so you can see more than just my hands for once.๐
Iโm a 30-year-old mom to my sweet (but wild๐ฉ) 2-year-old son, Azen. The idea for Lullaby Vegan came to me last August when I was running a vegan and pescatarian meal prep business. I gave that my all for three years, but it just wasnโt sustainable, and I knew I needed to shift gears into something more manageable.
My mom and I absolutely love Longโs Bakery, and one day I thought, โWhat if I could make a vegan and dairy-free version of their famous donuts so everyone could enjoy them?โ And โwhat if I could cater to late-night cravings since vegan options are seriously lacking when those midnight munchies hit?โ
Right when I started working on recipes, I was hit with some major health struggles. Almost overnight, I became chronically ill with MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome). Itโs unpredictable and scary, and I canโt safely eat most foods anymore without risking trips to the hospital. To make this business work, Iโd need to rely heavily on friends and family to taste test. Honestly, I thought about giving up.
But a good friend (a blessing) reminded me that I still had it in me to somehow still make this happen and I needed to get back in the kitchen and keep building my dream, not just for me but for my son. So here I am, figuring it out as I go, pouring love into every single order, and hoping to create something my son can be proud of one day.
Thank you so much for supporting Lullaby Vegan. It truly means the world to me and my little family. I canโt wait to bake for you!
