About Me Continued

One day I said "I wish I knew something about politics or education.  Then, I could do something positive in the community."  My girlfriends said "JuJu, you know food!  You know how to teach people to make a feast using simple ingredients." I started doing cooking demonstrations at a Farmers Market in DC, spreading what I call my "gospel of eating well." My philosophy, my "good news," is that healthy eating needn't be expensive, difficult or time-consuming. I parlayed my knowledge into a successful profession, teaching children and adults in the community at Farmers’ Market, after-school programs, and senior centers. I wrote a successful cookbook based on WIC staples and fresh produce, and the third edition is now available for purchase on this site.
