Tell us about yourself

  1. Co-authoring the country's first nationally promoted healthy soul food cookbook - The Black Family Dinner Quilt cookbook.
  2. Several years as a bylined and masthead contributing writer for the food industry's leading trade publication - Prepared Foods.
  3. Pioneering a series of webinars analyzing cross-sectional issues in food labeling compliance and successful product marketing

You're always on the front lines!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Set goals with measurable objectives.
