My name is Nawahs Davis pronounced “Nay-ah,” which means pleasant. While casting for an acting role in a Walt Disney Movie, I took notice that Disney provided the cast and crew a wide variety of foods, including plant-based options. Because I wasn't a Hollywood A-lister, I initially would mimic their eating habits in an effort to blend in with that crowd at the plant based tables they frequented, hoping the executives would notice me and consider me for bigger roles. It turns out, there's a rationale behind why Film Companies provide plant based food options during filming. I realized, by eating plant-based foods, it was key to maintaining energy throughout the day. Despite being a requested background actor for multiple movie projects, I did not make more than $23,000, so I gave up on my Hollywood aspirations, and focused on College. Today, in addition to becoming a Master Plant Based Chef, I hold one Masters Degree, two undergraduate degrees, and multiple certifications. In 2006, I established a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to community health and youth development, while also engaging in the community healthcare sector. Today, I continue living a plant-based lifestyle and happily married with a family. It's comical when I think back how my husband vowed he'd never become a vegan, all while he unknowingly used non-dairy alternatives I replaced for his cereal instead of milk. He'd occasionally eat the meals I was having and soon realized he lost weight without any workout plans, all thanks to a plant-based diet. Today he calls himself a “part-time vegan.” My philosophy is, the more plant-based foods you consume, the better your health will be.
