Welcome to Plant Girl Magic! I’m Chef Joya, a celebrity vegan chef known for making the vegan versions of your favorite soul food and afro-caribbean dishes so good they rival the originals. On this podcast, I’m sharing the stories behind the magic, from my own vegan journey and celebrity stories, to topics I care deeply about like food injustice, family, and life as an influencer. If you have a topic you want me to cover on the podcast, please send me a DM on Instagram @cookingwithjoya.
The Plant Girl Magic theme music is produced by my brother, Y’oMusic.
