Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexandria Kay.
Hi Alexandria, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started out of necessity. I didn’t start with a business plan or a big vision. Jobs wouldn’t hire me. I had to find a way to survive. Cooking has always come naturally to me, the people around me always loved my food. I was the designated cook for every holiday.
During the pandemic, restaurants were failing and closing down, I began posting pictures and videos of my food on social media. Followers started offering to pay me to cook for them, and over time it became a daily thing.
At first, the food I was cooking wasn’t the healthiest. I was preparing fried foods, heavy creams, and cheese sauces, using processed ingredients without realizing the long-term effects. I noticed a lot of weight gain happening in my community and within myself. I started looking into the statistics on obesity, heart disease, diabetes, heart failure, and causes of cancer. I found there was a strong correlation between the foods we eat and the health problems we face in America.
I truly feel God put it on my heart to make a lifestyle change and to be part of the change in my community. That’s when I decided to shift my focus toward health, wellness, and balanced eating. That’s how A List Nutrition was born. I turned my gift, my creativity, and my drive into a business that not only supports my goals but also helps others live healthier lives. Health and wellness have become a core part of who I am and what I stand for.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. I’ve had to learn everything through trial and error from building a brand to balancing finances and managing operations.
There were times when I didn’t have the money, resources, or support, but I still had to show up and make it work. I’ve faced burnout, self-doubt, and moments where I didn’t know how I was going to keep going, somehow, I always made a way.
Running a business as a woman, a mother, and a creator has come with its own challenges, especially trying to balance real life with consistency and professionalism. Every setback taught me something valuable. I’ve learned how to be resourceful, resilient, and how to adapt. I had to keep building even when things felt uncertain. Those challenges shaped me into who I am today and made A List Nutrition stronger.
