Our Why.

A New Calling: Empowering Others
This transformative journey sparked a desire to help other women navigate their own paths to wellness. I deepened my studies in integrative nutrition, holistic health, and the healing power of ancient herbs. My kitchen became a space where food and medicine merged, as I infused my culinary creations with the wisdom of plants.
Sharing the Knowledge
My in-home bakery, MoonLyte Treats, LLC, became a platform to share more than just delicious food. At farmers' markets, I saw a hunger – not for pastries, but for knowledge about healthy eating. When the opportunity to teach at my daughter's school arose, I jumped at the chance. Seeing my message of transitional healthy eating resonate with students, parents, and faculty was profoundly rewarding.
A Vision for Community Change
As a single mother and a woman of color, I've faced the challenges of food deserts and health inequities firsthand. I'm driven to bridge these gaps, to make nourishing food and holistic wellness accessible to all. My mission is to empower communities like mine to take control of their health, to find the light ("lyte") in the way we grow, prepare, and share food.
Join the Journey
I invite you to walk this path with me. Let's grow, heal, and thrive together. Through food, education, and community, we can create a brighter, healthier future – one delicious, nourishing bite at a time.
