Chef Cheri
B4A Speaker | Owner, Veteran Minority Small Business Caterer
She is creating the drinks and desserts for the comedy night. And she is coming to Tampa to prove that flavor and faith go hand in hand.
Chef Cheri is a chef-owner and veteran minority small business caterer. She is the force behind Phiesty Foods, where she creates comfort food that feeds both the body and the soul.
At the Beauty From Ashes Conference, Chef Cheri is taking on a special role. She is in charge of the cocktails, mocktails, and desserts for the comedy night. That means every sweet sip and every delicious bite will be crafted by her hands, made with love, and served to you as part of the experience.
She knows what it takes to start from nothing, to keep going when the kitchen gets hot, and to build something that lasts. She has catered events, fed communities, and grown her business through determination, flavor, and faith.
A chef who knows how to rise
Chef Cheri did not become a chef-owner overnight. She put in the work. She learned the craft. She built her business one event, one dish, one customer at a time. As a veteran minority small business caterer, she has faced challenges that would have stopped many people. But she kept cooking.
She has catered private events, shared her recipes, and built a community around food. Her approach is simple: cook with love, serve with excellence, and never forget that the people around your table matter most.
That is the kind of woman she is. She does not quit. She keeps rising. And she wants to help you do the same.
