BOV EDITOR | LONDON, U.K.
I’m a recipe developer whose love for cooking stemmed from being a vegetarian child (now vegan adult) in a house full of meat-eaters who were unfamiliar with cooking without animal products or byproducts.
Apart from cooking, I have a passion for the performing arts, teaching and fulfilling my God-given purpose which I believe is to help those who are less privileged than I am (mainly in England and Nigeria) in whatever way I can.
QUOTES TO LIVE BY
My Life Motto
“I don’t want to live in the kind of world where we don’t look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I cant change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.”
