We had the good fortune of connecting with Donna B and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Donna, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
When I quit a job with great benefits and giving up the position of having the opportunity to be in the corporate field. and packing up and moving to another state without a plan and without having a clue of what to do next…

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I just want to cook with love bless the food and bless some souls and bellies with my great cooking. I know my purpose on earth is to help others I just need that big miracle or financial blessing to leave a legacy behind of being one of the greatest self taught chefs to ever bless the earthly people a want yo create memories just as much as I want to create dishes I want to be able to teach others what I know free of charge but I do have to charge for these plates lol ha ha!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Go to Hollywood to see the star walk of fame. Go to the winery in Temecula go riding through Calabasas Ca to sight see all the nice big beautiful houses. We will eat at Mastro’s Steak house in Costa Mesa also eat at Ocean Prine Steakhouse in Beverly Hills and that’s only because we are out because other than that I love to entertain and cook myself for my guest but if I had to that would be the food spots. And maybe check out Harold’ and Belle’s to hit up some good classy food. No breakfast spots I’m cooking breakfast every morning before we leave. Hit up some comedy, karaoke and dance hall spots to dance and let off some steam and unwind and a relaxing spa a massage place. And we will have to hit up some motivational speaking events.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
