I became acquainted with private Chef Wood Porter back in May of this year. At the time I was running my own company, Hub Chicago,<\/a> and it was shortly following the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police custody. I put an overture on all social media for any local Black-owned business to reach out to me and I would offer them free advertising on our website and social media in an effort to do my part in supporting Black-owned businesses.<\/p>\n

I simply wanted to use my platform to amplify those establishments.<\/p>\n

One of those individuals to reach out was a personal Chef in Chicago named Wood Porter and his business: #Woodiscookin Private Chef Co. Through a series of email correspondence, I got to know Wood a bit more and I immediately was inspired through our conversation because in a lot of ways our mentality and outlook towards our passions and work derive from a similar place.<\/p>\n
