We recently connected with Meika Davis and have shared our conversation below.
Meika, appreciate you joining us today. What’s been the best thing you’ve ever seen (or done yourself) to show a customer that you appreciate them?
I truly love to serve my customers in this field. Many customers have contacted me with limited budgets and because I know at times certain customers may want a beautiful event but have limited funds. It has been my pleasure to be a blessing in this aspect over the years!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hello Everyone
Chef Lady M here!
I am currently the owner of Lady M Soul2soul. I have been cooking since the age of 12 years old. I learned from the best which was my late grandmother Alberta C. Woods and my mother the late Blondell Holmes.
I have a passion for cooking and serving others. Although I am a native of Hampton, Va. Lady M Soul2soul travels all across the world when we are requested and booked.
While I have enjoyed full service catering for the last 15 years, I have recently decided to transition over to being a Private Chef starting January 25.
You can book me for you in home meal prep, private parties, cooking classes and more.
I am also excited to be working on my New “Talking” Cookbook “The Love Matters” which will be available in 2025.
We appreciate all of the support from our customers over the years and we look forward to serve you soon!
-Chef Lady M
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
When I started this journey, I was in my home kitchen selling desserts. Until one day I received some disappointing news from the city. Sadly someone reported me selling desserts from my home. To be honest that day I wanted to quit. I cried and I was ready to throw jn the towel. I thank God for a Awesome Husband who told me that I wasn’t going to quit but I needed to find out what I need to do to be a legit business. Long story short I met a angel by the name of Carla! I told her my dream and vision and she believed in me and allowed me to use her kitchen. I am so grateful for her and her willingness to help! If it wasn’t for God, family and Ms. Carla I would be a non existent business!
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I learned that you can do the same thing as someone else but make sure your gift stands out and be authentically you!
