Meet Chef Naija aka The Naija Goddess

At the heart of Love In Action Café is Chef Naija, also known as The Naija Goddess, whose personal health transformation fuels her holistic approach to nutrition. Embracing her dual role as a board-certified holistic nutritionist and Chef OG Dumar's esteemed business partner, she weaves the art of healing through food into every aspect of the café.   Chef Naija’s passion for natural wellness is not just a profession—it's a calling. After conquering her own health challenges with severe illness and obesity through natural remedies and nutritious food, she was inspired to share her journey and expertise.   Within Love In Action Café, Chef Naija is dedicated to enriching our community by leading free nutrition and cooking classes, which reflect her commitment to accessible health education, especially in areas marked by food scarcity. Her culinary expertise is evident in every heart-healthy, organic dish she crafts, inviting patrons to experience the nourishing power of unprocessed foods.   Through her compassionate guidance and innovative menu offerings, Chef Naija does more than just feed the body—she nurtures the soul, fostering a community rooted in wellness and unconditional love.
