KIMBERLY PARRIS
Chef. Spiritualist. Change Agent.

Meet Kimi..

Your soon-to-be favorite Brooklyn girl, professional chef, entrepreneur, empathic spiritualist, and ya change agent bestie.

Hey friend hey! My name is Kimberly Parris, but my friends call me Kimi, and if you're here, I'm sure we'll be friends too! 

​

From teaching in high schools and mentoring at-risk youth, to running world renowned restaurants and starting businesses from a literal dream…

 

I’ve always known my life was going to follow a unique path. 

 

I was the kid that heard and saw things before they happened, often in the form of a dream. I didn’t always know what to do with this tremendous gift - so I kept it to myself until I grew up. 

 

Growing up, I would write mini manifestos to share with whoever would listen, and I’d pull recipes out of my mom’s favorite home magazines to cook with my dad or my Gran at my side. 

 

I was also the kid who saw something wrong and would work to fix it. 

 

As an adult, at first, fixing things looked like teaching for non-profit organizations in at-risk schools, and volunteering with civic groups like the Urban League and the Lions Club.

 

Color everyone surprised when I said I had a dream to be a chef…and I have a precocious, big-hearted, daughter of my own, who also heard and saw things before they happened, to thank for following that dream. 

 

She decided one day, at bedtime, to ask me if I was following my own dream as I always advised her to do. This innocuous question led me to the second stage of my career as a chef.
