Welcome to Brunch & Conversation!
I am a Texas-based food and
lifestyle blogger of Rwandese decent; my family and I have lived in Texas for
the last 17 years. Writing has always been my first love—I began through
poetry, and then wrote for my high school magazine, produced shows and segments
for the school’s TV station, and I even interned for a local TV station; I
owned a personal blog called “Lavidalida” which I later let go to start a more
niche focused blog. I left my desires to work in media to work in the marketing
industry full-time, where I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing
companies and brands.
So, how did Brunch &
Conversation come about? The idea for starting this blog came to me in 2014, 2
years into the real world, while I was looking for ways in which I could be
creative in a not-so creative market that I didn’t know very well. After
weighing my options, and remembering some of the lessons from social science
classes, I decided to use food as a way to learn my city. Brunch &
Conversation was started with the simple belief that “the best way to learn a culture is through its food.” I have plans to grow into a larger brand; what you'll find now in
addition to restaurant reviews are, food & drink recipes,
food related products & events, and soon skin and hair care. For collaborations or partnerships, please e-mail
me directly at: brunchandconversation@gmail.com.
Over the past few years, I have learned a
great deal about the city, and have been lucky to see and be part of its
growth. I have worked with many local restaurants, PR agencies, and national brands;
been featured in Houston
Press, HiveSociety,
KHOU.
I even got to meet Anthony
Bourdain, and attended many SuperBowl
51 festivities.
I believe in taking time to disconnect
and enjoy life; when I’m not working or blogging, I’m usually exploring the
city, travelling or spending time with my loved ones.
Thank you for stopping by!
