What's your personal advocacy?

Using food as a tool to uplift people out of poverty.

What was the turning point that first got you interested in it?

Experiencing food insecurity myself, I saw firsthand what it can do to someone's entire well being. Working in restaurants most of my life, I saw the potential to bridge the gap of the haves and the have nots when it comes to food.
