I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, in a home where our values were based on faith, family & culture. My upbringing shaped my worldview, how I connect with people & how I navigate life.

As a curious little girl, I started to learn about my culture through food; watching my mom & other women around me cook, bake & care for our home. I was fascinated by how culture shapes identity, how different people live & the ways we find connection through shared experiences. 

After high school, I pursued a more ‘traditional’ academic path, but after a year, I felt a strong pull to pursue my passion. With a leap of faith & the support of my parents, I switched gears and enrolled in culinary school, eventually spending nearly eight years in the hospitality industry. A journey that led me to the U.S. where I now live with my husband, blending our cultures & traditions one day at a time. Beyond adjusting to  a new country and settling into marriage, I’ve been exploring wellness, self-discovery & what it means to live with intention.

Through all of this, I have seen God’s hand over my life. Each transition; whether in my career, location, or relationships, has drawn me closer to Him. I’ve grown more grounded in my faith & now I’m learning to navigate each season with grace, intention, faith and gratitude.
