I am a chef, researcher, interdisciplinary facilitator and culinary artist exploring food as a relational technology of care.

Inspired by my Black American, Jamaican and British heritage, my culinary focus centres modern soul food through a distinctly London lens: thoughtful, deeply considered plant-forward cooking that layers bold flavour, cultural memory and contemporary expression. 

Through workshops, participatory meals, written commissions, and collaborative projects, I design embodied experiences grounded in Intentional Nourishment: the practice of using food and shared ritual to cultivate dignity, pleasure, and meaningful connection. This derives from the rich tradition of soul food, which stands as both a historical testament and a contemporary framework for asserting humanity, pleasure, and community under constraint. It is further informed by Black Atlantic foodways, ancestral memory, and rituals of care. 

Across my practice, I am interested in what food can reveal about identity, belonging, inheritance and the ways cultural knowledge is carried, transformed and sustained. Food bypasses academic abstraction; it demands physical ingestion, somatic participation, and direct relational intimacy. Within this framework, I draw on technical culinary processes, the social architecture of hosting and the rituals of public gathering and communal eating. 

Historically, the culinary has often been relegated to the realm of hospitality; seen as service rather than a site of artistic, political, or conceptual inquiry. My work actively challenges this division, using food as a medium through which to explore questions of care, culture and collective life. These offerings support deeper engagement with self, community, and the social and cultural lineages that shape how we eat and live. 

A 2026 recipient of the Oxford Symposium of Food and Cookery Young Chef award, I have been recognised by Code Hospitality’s Top 100 Women in Hospitality (2021) and 30 Under 30 (2024), and featured in British Vogue, The Guardian, and Bloomberg, among others. My year-long debut restaurant residency was named the number one vegan restaurant in London by Time Out.

I also host and produces The Intentional Nourishment Podcast, bringing together chefs, artists, therapists, and other thinkers and makers to co-create, explore and expand the practice.
