Bonjour! 

I’m a writer, cook, storyteller, and the founder of Dinner for One. I grew up in the Bronx in a Jamaican family and eventually found my way to Paris, where I thought I was building the perfect life. Then, like so many good stories, mine took an unexpected turn.

After my marriage ended, I found myself living alone and trying to figure out what was next.  So I started cooking. Cooking gave me somewhere to put my hands and my heart. Through cooking, I learned to do nice things for myself and those small acts of kindness became Dinner for One. It started as a podcast, then became a book, and eventually a growing community of dinners, gatherings, stories, and experiences. 

I believe you shouldn't have to wait for a partner, a new chapter, or some future version of yourself to start enjoying your life today. Dinner for One is my way of exploring what happens when we stop treating our “in-between” moments as something to rush through and start living it fully. 

Through food, storytelling, and friendship, I want to make space for the messy, delicious, surprising, and, ultimately, rewarding business of becoming your own person.
