“Living and working near New York City, we are always on the go. When Vivienne, our daughter, was diagnosed with severe food allergies as an infant, we came up short on healthy snacks that were safe to eat and delicious. Frustrated by the lack of options, Denise left her corporate job and set out to make her own. As a Black female CEO & founder, Denise is passionate about raising awareness of Black and female entrepreneurship and increasing opportunity for women and people of color seeking careers in the food industry.”
