Founder, Creative director

Hey yall!

It’s Toluwani here!
With a background that spans entertainment and media, the medical field, education, and the food and beverage industries, I’ve had the unique opportunity to move through a variety of spaces – each special in their own way. Though the years, I noticed a huge gap: a lack of true, intentional community.
So I started this brand as a response to that void.

As the Creative Director, I’m the compass – guiding this brand’s vision, our voice, and storytelling. I shape how we show up in the world — from our editorial direction to our tone, values, media content, and collaborations. It’s my job to make sure every piece of content reflects the heart of who we are, always asking: How does this connect people?
You can find me writing about everything: from beauty and entertainment, food and wellness, to thought-provoking takes on today’s social climate — and of course, plenty of delicious recipes. I also work on the side developing our upcoming Media Network. Whether you’re here to dig into a dish, discover your next beauty product, or dive deep into a meaningful convo, pull up a chair. You’re always welcome at our table.
