​

Chef Miya's interest in the culinary arts began in childhood, putting together full meals under supervision by age seven. Her love and respect for all things plant-based also came during this time and she was a self-assigned vegetarian for many of her younger years.

​

During her early twenties, traveling from East to West Coast while enlisted in the Navy, Pack discovered the bounty of California's diverse and culture-rich farmer’s markets. She lived the practical and simple “farm-to-fork” concept every day. As her knowledge grew, she was able to heal her gestational diabetes while pregnant through fresh, whole foods. Upon the ending of her Navy enlistment and moving back East, she was saddened by the drastic change in her access to quality, healthful foods. She wondered: “What chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, are ailing inner city communities where there are food deserts and no access to fresh produce?” This curiosity, coupled with the push to pursue culinary from an associate, brought Pack out of the home kitchen, and into the professional world of being a Chef.

​

With hard work and tenacity, Chef Miya has cultivated her love for food, and care for others’ health, beginning with a seedling pop-up shop, Lord of the Kitchen in 2013, to the fleshed-out vision that is Grace & Savor Catering today. Chef Miya's inspiration for her menus come passed down from family recipes and lifelong research of food from the diaspora.
