What an incredible experience at the American Culinary Federation Convention!
I truly enjoyed all five days of learning, networking, and, of course, enjoying some amazing food. I leave this convention with a renewed sense of purpose, a greater passion for my craft, and as a better chef than when I arrived.
The connections I made with talented chefs from around the world were truly inspiring and reminded me of the power of our culinary community. I also had a wonderful time at the Gala celebrating excellence in our profession.
Congratulations to Travis Johnson on receiving the Cutting Edge Award—such a well-deserved honor!
I'm excited and motivated to take my culinary journey to the next level. A special shout-out to the American Culinary Federation South Bend Local Chapter for your support and encouragement throughout this amazing experience.
Here's to continued growth, lifelong learning, and the exciting opportunities ahead!

Up at 5:30 AM to attend the largest chef conference in the United States.

Before I came to this conference, I told the Lord that I wasn't going to walk into another room feeling like I didn't belong. I told Him that I was going to be who He says I am—not who others have said I wasn't.

Today, I attended the American Culinary Federation Convention, and I am truly humbled. The American Culinary Federation is the largest professional organization for chefs and cooks in the United States, and being here has reminded me of the honor, excellence, and professionalism that come with this career.

As a culinary educator and the founder of Soulful Kitchen Culinary School, I believe it's important to continually sharpen your skills and place yourself in environments that challenge you to grow.

This is more than a conference for me. It's a reminder that purpose is greater than people's opinions, and that perseverance, faith, and obedience will always have the final say.

Thank You, Lord, for this opportunity. I'm excited for everything that's ahead. Thank you ACF South Bend!

Feeling incredibly grateful! ❤️

Tonight, I had the honor of being a featured vendor at the Inspiring Women Night Out on the Morris Bicentennial Plaza during the Fever game.

I'm truly thankful for every opportunity to do what I love and share my passion for cooking with the community. Moments like these remind me that God continues to open doors, and I never take those blessings for granted.

I had an amazing time visiting La Casa today! It was such a pleasure to share my story and lead a cooking demonstration with the students.

We had meaningful conversations about community, culture, and the power of food to bring people together. I was excited to share my style of cooking and introduce the students to some Southern culinary traditions.

I’m especially proud of the students who jumped right in picking collard greens, practicing knife skills, and embracing the hands-on experience with enthusiasm and curiosity.

A huge thank you to Roberto Leal for his leadership and commitment to creating opportunities like this for our community. Your impact does not go unnoticed.

And as a bonus... everyone loved the collard greens! 😊

Thank you, La Casa de Amistad for the warm welcome. I look forward to future opportunities to connect, teach, and celebrate culture through food.
