RUTH'S STORY

My name is Ruth, and I am a Black Deaf baker…among other things. I grew up baking with my mother and learned everything I know from her. She had great pride in making everything from scratch and didn’t allow boxed cake mixes to disgrace her kitchen counters. For this, I am glad. Nothing beats homemade baked goods.

I bake when I am sad and when I am full of joy. Seeing people do a happy dance while devouring my food makes me feel alive. Suddenly, I feel seen; I feel needed. When I am using my God-given talents, oh my goodness, it feels surreal. My happy place is with a mixing bowl and a dash of Sass.
