Welcome to the inclusive space, where soul food from across the African diaspora and beyond awaits you. The inspiration for this platform bloomed from Donovan's deep passion for cooking alongside his ongoing journey of healing, learning, and falling in love with what it truly means to be black. Throughout history, anti-blackness has manifested in various forms, but here, we showcase the richness and complexity of our identities beyond our pain through food, exploration, and humor.

Throughout this journey, Donovan highlights, celebrates, and pays homage to dishes from across the diaspora while igniting a sense of nostalgia and belonging. Irrespective of your ethnic background, his mission is to share the transformative process of falling in love with yourself and your culture.

With this platform, we aim to create a community that encourages one another to pursue their dreams while learning to show up as their authentic selves unapologetically.

Let this be a reminder that life is too short, random, and beautiful to get stuck in your thoughts. Soul de Alma is one of many examples of what can happen when you stop letting fear of the unknown and failure control you.
