My Story
I’m Ashley, the proud founder of Jikoni. My love for cooking began at a young age, and over the years, I’ve cultivated that passion into a way of connecting with others through food. From experimenting in the kitchen as a child to now creating unique culinary experiences, cooking has always been a way for me to express my creativity and bring people together.
I feel incredibly blessed to be part of something greater through my work with the Glow Up, Sister community—a space that empowers and uplifts women. It’s an honor to curate nourishing and soulful meals for this inspiring group of women, helping to foster connection and celebration through the joy of shared food.
At Jikoni, it’s not just about cooking; it’s about creating an environment where people can come together, feel at home, and enjoy food that’s crafted with care and intention. I look forward to continuing this journey, bringing delicious and heartfelt meals to your table.
