Milwaukee native, Adjoa Courtney, grew up begrudgingly eating the vegan fare her parents cooked for her as she was growing up. Little did she know, she’d eventually build a successful business teaching others how to successfully adopt a plant-based lifestyle.
On this week’s podcast, we talk with Chef Joya about her food journey, from cooking with her grandmother in the kitchen to creating meals for celebrities. Along the way, she talks about her move to Charlotte, North Carolina, the positive impact the pandemic had on her business and the approach she takes to creating plant-based fare that appeals to everyone.
