Journey to Self-Care with Special Guest Rachel Joi (JSSELFCARE.ORG)

Rachael is am amazing singin Chef. I am so happy and honered she chose this podcast to share her story. While Rachel was operating her rapidly scaling business in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Rachel Joi endured an all white boycott in an effort to shut down her innovative, new restaurant Hope's Kitchen Eateries. Emotions flared! Tears were shed. Hopes were dashed. After escaping a near lynching experience, Rachel Joi escaped the chaos by bringing Hope's Kitchen Eateries to Poughkeepsie, NY. Poughkeepsie offered joy, acceptance, and nourishment that her broken heart needed in order to heal. Before fleeing for her life, the boycotters hatefully used to refer to her as "The Doughnut Lady" because she was reduced to only selling doughnuts and doughnut sandwiches. Though it was a bestseller, the teasing left a bad taste in her mouth about doughnuts. Now those doughnuts have become an inner motivator for The SIngin' Chef to overrule systemic racism in the culinary world by any means necessary. These doughnuts used to represent her struggle under Southern systemic oppression. Now these doughnuts represent the fruit of Eastern Freedom! Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty we are free at last!Hope’s Kitchen Eateries Ordering:   Rachel Joi Contact Information.
