Summits & Spoons is more than a project; it is simply my life in motion. As a Black woman wandering mountains and following my curiosity, I’ve found that the best way to honor a difficult climb is with something delicious at the end of it.

For me, the trail is where the noise of the world fades and my mind finally finds its chill. If the mountain is where I find my strength, then food is where I feel held.

Healing, Joy, and Discovery

My journey isn’t just about reaching the top; it’s about the transformation that happens along the way. Some days, I am hiking through the clouds, pushing my physical limits. Other days, I am tucked away in a tiny kitchen, tasting a dish I can’t quite pronounce but will never forget.

Every mile and every meal is a chapter of a larger story—one of healing, deep joy, cultural connection, and the radical act of choosing myself over and over again.
