As a FEAST Educator my mission is to educate and uplift the community in knowing that food is medicine and education saves lives.

I am a native of Shreveport, Louisiana and grew up in Inglewood, California. My Degree is in Liberal Arts and I am a Master Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach. I am also a Chef for seniors and former owner operator of Contour Salads. My passion for healthy cooking gained me the title Chef Yolanda while working with the Non-Profit (Black Women for Wellness). I worked under the title, kitchen Diva. I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge and teaching patients at Kaiser Permanente how to advocate for their own heath.

In my spare time I love spending time tending to my garden, reading books of various genres, creating new recipes, visiting local botanical gardens, riding my bike on the beach and spending time with family.
