I am a graduate of Madonna
University Elele in Public Health.
In pursuit of a white collar job,
I stumbled on Icreate Africa in
July 2018 and in October, lo and
behold, a never ending journey
began! My life has drastically
changed since then and it is still
transforming daily. I birthed my
personal business @alvinzkitchen
which has had massive growth and
expansion in various ways that I
could never imagine before. We
have done several media tours in
Lagos and Abuja, all expenses paid
trips, a platform that helped a lot.
People respected us.
Looking back on how far I have
come I can’t help but be thankful
to God. This was a lad burning pots
back in the day but now being a
Champion, it’s super phenomenal.
I recently just catered for 200
guests which was mindblowing;
I have gotten more solo jobs for
events and personal consumption.
I am overwhelmed with joy, still
in awe and forever grateful to
iCreate, to Mr Bright Jaja, a great
leader, and the entire team for this
remarkable initiative. It has really
brought out the best in me. May
God keep using you to change the
narrative and setting standards in
Africa! Today I stand as a brand
ambassador to BON HOTEL ABUJA
who is currently training me a
great deal in the culinary world
and exposing me to a new world
of Food I never thought I would
see in Nigeria, not to mention to
be learning at no cost on my side.
Kudos to Chef Chris. Recently, I
just concluded my culinary school
with “Red dish chronicle” under the
teaching of the impeccable chef
Stone and his team.
A really big Thanks also to my
beloved friends, my backbone
Sarah+ Herbert and my parents,
my number source of inspiration
and motivation.
