Roti Brown On Hosting, Creativity, And Betting On Yourself

Today’s guest is Roti Brown, the Los Angeles–based creative director, host, and content creator known for her cinematic tablescapes, cultural fusion recipes, and modern approach to gathering. Roti’s rise has been anything but conventional—after studying political science and briefly considering law school, she found her way into the worlds of fashion, content, and food, ultimately carving out a creative career all her own. Roti has built an unexpected path that blends cooking, storytelling, visual direction, and a deep love of community. Her journey included restaurant work, early internships in media and fashion, a major role at Jenni Kayne, and a two-year stint as creative director for Ashley Tisdale French, before ultimately deciding to bet on herself full-time.Thank you to JW Marriott for supporting our show. Order The Cake IssueTickets for our Working Lunch event in Charleston on Thursday, December 11th, hereSubscribe to our SubstackJubilee NYC 2026 tickets hereCheck out Cherry Bombe on ShopMyMore on Roti: Instagram, Flavor GardenMore on Kerry: Instagram
