“Self-love is not selfish, it is necessary. And it does not serve any of us well to have an outpouring of love for other people around us, and yet, we don't love ourselves.” - Tommi Vincent

Welcome to Stay a While with Tommi Vincent! When you truly know who you are, you just walk differently. Sometimes, that walk can be a solo one. Having all the confidence in the world doesn’t mean that we will not endure moments of standing alone. However, who says that’s a bad thing? The best outcomes can arise when we embrace the solo mission. But first, we gotta take the risk, and bet on ourselves. Are you up for it? My guest, Gabrielle McBay, takes her seat at the table to confirm that you can never lose when you bet on yourself.

Gabrielle McBay is a professional chef and creative producer from Dallas, TX with over ten years of experience in the culinary industry. Gabrielle has been featured across notable media platforms including Food Network, ABC, Essence, Forbes, Black Enterprise, and the New York Times.

Key Quotes

“And I made the move because I wanted to do something for me, without anybody else attached to it.” - Gabrielle McBay

“Facts over feelings. A lot of times we put our feelings above everything. I used to operate off of feelings all the time. So if you are operating off of feelings of fear, you're not moving in your purpose, you're not moving in that confidence.”  - Gabrielle McBay 

“I really believe that recipes keep the story going. It allows for generations to come, the opportunity to meet people that they may have never met before because they're no longer here on this earth, but they get an opportunity to feel the love from that person through the recipes that we continue to share. So I think it's really important to share recipes and to document recipes so that generations can experience that same love for generations to come.” - Tommi Vincent
