Ornelle Cherazi, known online as @NelNourish, joins me to share her powerful story — from modeling to culinary school to becoming one of Canada’s most magnetic food creators.We talk about what it was like growing up between Uganda, Rwanda, and Canada, and how being a model with an obsession for health led her into the world of food, but not in the way you’d expect. Nel opens up about recovering from orthorexia, what culinary school really teaches you, the power of tasting everything, and what it takes to actually go viral and stay there.She also drops honest takes on gym culture, food trends, dealing with online hate, and why being yourself is still the best growth strategy.
