I am single mom, have been plant based for 20+ years and lost almost 100lbs! I raised a son, a few family members and 2 dogs on a plant based diet! I'm also 56 yrs old and have changed my career path. My passion is food, more specifically making healthy plant based food AND my super power is being able to make any plant based meal and make it delicious.
This past year covid has shown us that our food sources and our health are incredibly vulnerable. As the world shifts to more plant based foods I want to help people understand that their entire pantry can be plant based and that you can make simple delicious hearty and nutritious plant based foods whether they are a high income earner or a family on food assistance you can still make delicious meals!
The tools that I used to help me lose almost 100lbs (outside or motivation and determination) was setting up a plant based pantry the right way and for the long term. Students can do this easily by going through my 7-Day Plant Based Pantry Challenge.
And, setting up your pantry with the Plant Based Pantry Labels. The labels are unique in that the Plant Based Pantry Labels are geared towards plant based and vegan people that need to be aware of their nutrient intake. My labels not only have nutrient information butI also have quick recipe reference labels so that anyone can easily and quickly make the most popular plant based dishes from wild rice to chickpea frittata to aquafaba.
I want to be able to build out The Plant Based Food Coach into an extensive program to help people, especially the under represented and low income communities, understand that plant based is not only healthy for your body, it's healthy for our community and it is our future.
By winning this grant I'll be able to work with mentors that can guide me and help me grow my business but I would also be able to build out my staff (I have no staff its just me) to make my mission possible.
Thank you for the opportunity!
