Gardening with my grandmother and hunting with my grandfather taught me the value of fresh food and family sustainability. Having grown up in private school on scholarship and food stamps, my childhood shaped my passion for food tech that pushed me to begin scaling my own ventures in the industry. My mother encouraged me to explore science and technology at an early age, when too few women are pushed to do so. This early exploration helped me in all of my entrepreneurial endeavors, as I developed a curious eye and a resilient mindset.

My family and history helped me become the woman and innovator I am. Part of my journey included working at Google, as an entrepreneur-in-residence. This Black History Month Google featured Black innovators across industries. Check out other great stories here.
