Meet Our 1st Grant Recipient, In Her Own Words:
Taylor is an Oji-Cree Metis woman from Ontario (she/her). She is currently a stay at home mama to Willa (4.5) and Grey (3) and describes herself as having an entrepreneurial spirit with a creative flair. Taylor has spent most of her life in the food industry where she first found her passion for food alongside her father, who was a chef and baker.
Some of her favourite things include rooms with never ending sunshine, sharing her food creations with loved ones and making food a fun and exciting experience for her kiddos. She loves to craft and build around her home, inside the kitchen and out.
This last year she has begun honing her craft of being a home cook and baker, and let’s face it, trying to find ways to keep life fun and playful with her children when she, like so many of us, are facing burn out beyond belief.
Her newest project is sure to spark playfulness back into the lives of many families across Canada.
