Stirring Success: Tiara Alexander's Culinary Legacy and Social Enterprise

Naturally Brown Woman - Empower Women of Color

When Tiara Alexander, a PhD student and entrepreneur from the vibrant heart of New Orleans, walks into a room, you can bet it's not just her academic prowess that turns heads—it's the mouthwatering aroma of her culinary creations that follows her. On today's show, we sit down with the founder of Sweet Legacy, a woman whose life is as rich and varied as the dishes she whips up, blending her love for food with a deep commitment to social work. Tiara's tale begins in her family kitchen, a place where recipes and life lessons were handed down like heirlooms, and evolves into a story of entrepreneurship, community service, and the pursuit of a PhD that has her stirring more than just pots in the thriving New Orleans food scene.
Join us as we uncover the heart that beats behind Sweet Legacy, where every dessert tells a story of family, tradition, and the ties that bind us. Tiara shares how her business is so much more than a culinary venture—it's a social enterprise, providing a seat at the table for everyone in the community, from feeding the houseless to empowering youth with employment opportunities. We get the scoop on how you can stay connected to the Sweet Legacy NOLA buzz through their social media presence and how to bring a dash of their signature beignet magic to your own events. This is not just another foodie chat; it's a conversation that will feed your soul and leave you hungry to make a difference.
