Food Blogging and Veganism

She posts many vegan food recipes, including dishes like 'Raw Pecan Tacos'.
Many viewers take comfort in Tabitha's voice and slight Southern accent, finding it to be 'soothing.' She delivers uplifting messages throughout her videos and her positivity has touched many people.
Prior to creating a TikTok account, another video featuring Tabitha, in which her daughter attempts to teach her parents how to use the platform, went viral.
Her food blogging has earned her numerous deals and collaborations.
She has appeared on Strahan, Sara, and Keke twice to cook with Keke Palmer.
Tabitha is a brand ambassador for Whole Foods Market Plant Based Living. In 2017 while driving for Uber (which is how she thought she could potentially get a role for her acting career, by driving a big director or producer), she too a break and recorded a Facebook video in which she raves about a vegan sandwich from Whole Foods Market. Her video inspired a viral internet challenge and the supermarket reached out to her within a week.
She announced on her Instagram that she inked a deal with Creative Artists Agency.
She travels the country and speaks at different events to share her story of how going vegan changed her life.
Tabitha became a vegan in 2017 after experiencing crippling chronic headaches, fatigue, losing her balance several times, and even going blind for a day.
“I really thought I was gonna die,” she said.
She didn’t think she would make it to her 40th birthday.
The strain on Brown’s physical health began to affect her mentally as well.
She had bouts of depression and severe panic attacks, and her illness made it feel impossible to land the acting and comedy jobs she wanted.
At her breaking point, Brown said, she had a come-to-Jesus moment.
“I had this moment in the bathroom and I prayed.
I said, ‘God, if you heal me, I'll do whatever you ask, please.
Just heal me.’”[26]
She said to herself “I’ve tried all these drugs and they didn’t work, so let me try (veganism) for 30 days.”
Her headaches disappeared 10 days later.
“In the past, when I thought ‘vegan,’ I thought of white women who did yoga, or hippy women—who also did yoga,” she said to VICE. As a black woman, Tabitha said she wants to give veganism a better name, and to make sure people of color see themselves reflected in the vegan community, which often gives the impression that the plant based lifestyle is for affluent and white people.
“You stop being so hard on yourself.
Stop doing that.
You're doing the very best that you can.
You gotta take things one day at a time, day by day, step by step.”
-Tabitha said in one of her videos.
“I'm just a firm believer in trying to bring people up, because I've been in a dark place and I know how uncomfortable that is.”
Acting
Tabitha has been acting since she was a child.
She performed in school, church and community theater.
She moved to Los Angeles, California, in 2014 in pursuit of her dreams and, despite repeated rejection, never gave up. She spent her first five years in Los Angeles working at Macy's
She has co-starred/guest starred on Freeform's Switched at Birth, Bounce TV’s Family Time, and NBC’s Will & Grace, to name a few. She starred in the Award winning feature films "I Am Still Here", "Princess of the Row", and "SOULS" currently on 2020 Film Festival circuit. She also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
