The meaning behind the name
Four generations. One table.
4 TWISTS is inspired by the four generations of African American women whose strength, boldness, education, love of cooking, and community influence shaped my life. They paved the pathways that allow me to create, chef, build, and elevate in my own way, without limitations.
The "twists" represent the unique paths they carved and the layers of legacy they passed down. Their journeys opened doors for mine, and 4 TWISTS is both a tribute to their impact and the foundation of the legacy I am now building for future generations.
