West African Dance Class

Yes baby I Like It Raw was founded by a Nzingah Oniwosan, a holistic health consultant and plant-based chef, as a means to help people tap into their raw potential and “process the unprocessed life.” Nzingah who is also an interdisciplinary artist approaches cooking as an art form, she states, “The plate is my canvas which I transform into an art piece by mixing and blending different vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices.” Her Haitian Heritage and her love of different cultures influence her culinary portfolio. Her mission is to inspire people to take charge of their health through nutritional therapy.  “At 19 I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was seeing five physicians on a regular basis and was condemned to be on a prescription drugs for the rest of my life. Through research, I learned a plant-based diet could alleviate my conditions and 16 years later I can testify to that effect. Through a plant-based diet and a herbal protocol I am able to keep my autoimmune disorder in remission, as well as overcome the challenges associated with having a prolactinoma and PCOS. Food is your first medicine, my kitchen is my laboratory, and my goal is to make sure that your medicine always taste good.”

Instructor: Many consider Nzingah a Renaissance artist, as she seems to be talented in virtually all disciplines of the arts. She is an award-winning visual artist, a classically trained pianist, a published poet, and an African and Haitian Folklore dancer. Thanks to her excellence in the arts she began to teach while in middle school and has continued her work as a teaching artist into her adulthood.Her commitment to reaching children and adults through the arts has allowed her to work with well over two hundred thousand students, in south Florida and nationally. In addition to her work with children, she has given several professional development workshops designed to educate teachers on how to integrate the arts into their curriculum.Nzingah’s work as a teaching artist has a cultural emphasis; this can be attributed to her Haitian background, as well as her connection to her African heritage. Moreover, she believes that through an appreciation of one's culture, in addition to the culture of others, high self-esteem and improved social skills can be nurtured in children and adults. Nzingah’s vision as a teaching artist and as an artist, in general, is to plant the seed of creativity that makes a profound impact on the way people think.
