Life on the Ave

This week, Mary Kate sits down with the owner of Ken-Do Spice, Shani Smith.

"Ken-Do Spice is more than just a company; it’s a heartfelt mission led by Shani Smith. An international author, entrepreneur, TV show co-host, and culinary expert with over 30 years of experience, Shani's journey is as inspiring as it is flavorful.

Shani’s story begins in the kitchen with her father, Kenny "Ken-Do" Bond, where her love for cooking was ignited. Naming the company after him, Ken-Do Spice honors his legacy and the rich culinary traditions they shared. Shani's journey took a profound turn when she became a caregiver for her mother, Mary Bond (fka Mary Green) with dementia. She discovered that food was the best way to deliver supplements, transforming mealtime into a healing ritual.

This personal experience gave birth to Ken-Do Spice, driven by the desire to help others enjoy the healing power of food."
