Having come from humble beginnings and growing up in the township of Alexandra, Chef Lorna Maseko prides herself on empowering and inspiring South African women. Her tenacity and positive attitude has not only put her in a position to empower the youth of South Africa but also directed her to entrepreneurship and allowed her to turn her absolute love and passion for the culinary arts into a career. As a young girl, she was always told to reach for the sky, but she aimed for the stars – ultimately becoming one herself. One of Lorna’s greatest achievements was being crowned South Africa’s premiere black female ballet dancer, which lead her to be the first black ballerina to ever perform a principal role in South African theatres. Over the years, Lorna has become a striking brand who loves creating memorable and engaging moments within every sphere of her life.
