Soulful Kitchen is expanding!

After 9 long years of being everything within my company, I’m finally ready to take another risk and hire employees. Today, I held my first hiring event at WorkOne! 🙌🏾
We recruited for both our culinary school students and catering employees. This is such an exciting milestone for me and for Soulful Kitchen!

Prior to the hiring event, I attended the College & Career Readiness session hosted by the Indiana Youth Institute. Since our training is geared toward career pathways, it was important for me to learn more about creating meaningful opportunities and preparing individuals for success beyond the classroom.

Nine years of building, learning, and now I’m stepping into a new chapter of building a team, creating jobs, and developing career pathways.
I’m excited, nervous, grateful, and ready for what’s next! ❤️

Soulful Kitchen is growing… and I’m growing with it!

Today was a beautiful day of service and community at Soulful Kitchen and Hope for the Hungry!

We were honored to welcome 35 students from the Institute for Social Concerns, who volunteered their time at the Hope for the Hungry food pantry. After serving, the students were able to enjoy food prepared by Soulful Kitchen.

I’m so grateful for another opportunity to share my story and show how Soulful Kitchen and Hope for the Hungry work together to serve our community. Food has always been more than a business for me.

I also had the opportunity to learn from Lisa Zakowski, Neighborhood Program Specialist, about LEAD in our community. I’m thankful for the knowledge she shared and the opportunity to continue learning.

And I have to give a HUGE shoutout to my amazing team! Your hard work and commitment make days like today possible.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Soulful Kitchen and Hope for the
Hungry.

We are grateful for every opportunity to serve!

"It's my story, but not my identity."

The Lord is writing a new story. He is doing a new thing. From poverty to prosperity, His grace has been evident every step of the way.

Thank you to the Startup South Bend - Elkhart South Bend - Elkhart Regional Partnership for inviting me to be an entrepreneur guest on the Rooted and Reaching Podcast, Season 4. It was an honor to share my journey and the work we're doing in our community.

Soulful Kitchen Culinary is excited to partner with Bethel College for a fun and interactive culinary summer camp for elementary and high school students! This partnership gives students the opportunity to learn practical kitchen skills, build confidence, and enjoy hands-on cooking in a positive and encouraging environment.

This week, students learned proper knife safety and practiced making julienne cuts, one of the fundamental knife techniques used in the kitchen. They also explored the frying cooking method, learning about safety, temperature control, and how to prepare delicious foods while using proper cooking techniques.

It's been amazing to watch students step outside their comfort zones, work together, and discover that cooking can be both educational and fun. Whether they're learning a new skill or tasting something they've made themselves, every experience helps build confidence that extends beyond the kitchen.

Thank you, Bethel College, for partnering with Soulful Kitchen to create meaningful opportunities for young people through hands-on culinary experiences. We’re grateful to be a part of making this summer memorable!
