I started a whole business centred around a vegan lifestyle so to not be vegan anymore made me feel like a fraud. I battled with being completely authentic. In the background there was always this cloud of shame following me around every time I showed up online or at social events.
I often would post about ‘being yourself’ and ‘following your hearts true purpose  but I couldn’t bring myself to posting a photo of a meal I was enjoying because it wasn’t a vegan meal.

This inspired  my authentic re-direction to plant-based 'ish'.

Despite this transition, I still LOVE creating vegan food! I love creating vegan versions of traditional Barbadian cuisine and cuisine in general but I came to the realisation that I can do both! I can recreate myself repeatedly and love every atom of my being. And now I can truly say I believe and stand by those words- and YOU CAN TOO!
I continue to have a passion for creating healthy meals to influence clean and healthy eating for children and adults alike.
Having two beautiful girls, my focus was always to start and maintain healthy habits around food. As the saying goes, “You are what you eat!” and I’m here to make it more accessible to you while being what I consider to be PLANT-BASED 'ISH'.
