Stephanie Despain Instagram – Feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, knowing how rare they can be especially for minority chefs. But this journey isn’t just about me. I step onto these big stages not just as Chef Pyet, but as a representative of the many Indigenous chefs, food warriors, and community leaders working tirelessly to bring light to Indigenous foodways and food sovereignty.
To those chefs in their communities, pushing for change, preserving traditions, and uplifting their people I see you, I honor you, and I walk into every competition with you in my heart. This is bigger than one person. This is for all of us. ✊🏽🪶🔥
