We're excited to have Desaré Flournoy as a guest on The SunnySide Up podcast.

Welcome to our YouTube channel, where we introduce you to the incredible Desare Flournoy, the visionary owner of Twisted Fork! Twisted Fork isn't just any festival; it's a vibrant community and platform that celebrates the world of vegan food vendors, catering to all genders and nationalities.

She also offers educational courses on diabetes and healthy eating. Desare's journey into this business began with a childhood festival experience, igniting her passion for a positive mindset and perspective. She's also an accomplished author with her book, "The Food Fight," sharing insights into transitioning to a vegan lifestyle while enjoying festivals to the fullest. Desare firmly believes that our comfort shouldn't solely reside in food but in our connections with our loved ones. 

She started her journey with no marketing budget, relying on cold emails and calls during the early years, and her determination eventually led to a snowball of success. What sets Desare apart is her dedication to community over profit. She firmly believes that if you have the skill, you can always find ways to make money. She also encourages us to acknowledge that everyone's background and story are unique, emphasizing the importance of understanding and respecting these differences. 

Desare's favorite book, "Noticer" by Andy Andrews, reflects her constant pursuit of wisdom and personal growth. Join us in this enlightening conversation with Desare Flournoy, the powerhouse behind Twisted Fork, and discover the incredible world of vegan food, community, and personal transformation!
