Hiiii💖
I’m a 🐝renaissance-gurl-of-sorts with a deep love for food and its intersectionality with culture, liberation, and community-building.
I founded Nourished Palate, a digital food media platform and food business in 2019. You can find me penning stories when I'm not selling Haitian bundt cakes or Bermudian johnny bread at farmer's markets or pop-ups.
My education involves researching equitable food systems as a graduate of Syracuse University’s Food Studies and Policy Studies program. In 2024, I received the Black Women in Food Award for amplifying voices in food.
Writing
My approach to storytelling involves centering underrepresented narratives— especially Black ones
In my work I hope readers will unearth:
🌺 culinary wisdom
🌺 urgent community calls to action
🌺 how grief and trauma impacts foodways
🌺 profiles of dynamic ppl & movements
Current projects:
editor // the land, food, and freedom journal
freelance food writer // multiple brands
Recipes
My recipes honor my heritage growing up in the East Coast (Cambridge, MA) and pay homage to my Haitian and Bermudian roots.
In November 2019, Ashia created a platform and business geared at cultivating a community of eaters, cooks, growers, creators, and entrepreneurs who all share one thing in common—a love for food and it's intersectionality.
