Danielle “CC” Freeman • Vegan Chef & Educator

Next week I’ll be heading to New York to become a part of Goldman Sachs' Black in Business program! ​ ​ I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am of the strides I’m making to become a household name globally! ​ ​ I can’t wait to meet with all of the entrepreneurs in the program and gain knowledge that I need to build my business! ​ ​ For 10 weeks, I’ll be learning from Black women entrepreneurs and strategic advisors to help guide my business growth! ​ ​ As a student, I'm looking forward to learning from industry leaders and gaining valuable skills and experiences to make Mélanges by CC even bigger than what I am now. ​ ​ I have so much more good news to share, but, you’ll just have to wait! Make sure you stay tuned as I’ll be documenting my journey!​ ​ Follow 👉🏾 @melangesbycc 👈🏾​ Follow 👉🏾 @melangesbycc 👈🏾​ Follow 👉🏾 @goldmansachs 👈🏾​ Follow 👉🏾 @icicorg 👈🏾​ ​ ​ #GoldmanSachs #BlackInBusiness #EmpoweringTheFuture #onemillionblackwomen #luckygirlsyndrome #melangesbycc ​ #melangesbycc #salad #veganfoodshare #bokchoy #blackvegans #plantbasedfoodie #chickpeas #blackvegan #africanamerican #plantbaseddiet #vegantreats #plantbasednutrition #foodie #haitianvegan #liberianvegan #thickvegan #curry #plantbaseddiet #lunionsuite #veganfood #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlmagic #blackexcellence​ #blackwomen

Listen….. I have heard everyone LOUD & CLEAR! I am realizing that I’ve left a void in the community! And y’all won’t let me forget it! 😂 Every event that I see all of you….. You make sure to let me know in your own special ways that y’all miss me and my food! My fave quotes: “You didn’t cater this event?” “Where’s the food at?” “I thought you were going to bring me a plate” “Now you know this ain’t right for you to not be cooking” And the crazy part for me is that this is VEGAN FOOD! Most of you are meat eaters! So I know my food goes hard! Y’all have been giving me my flowers at every step. I’ve cried (I’m a sensitive thug) I love all you from the bottom of my heart! That being said……. I am going to be at Night Market with some of your favorites - Southern Classics & CC’s LIMEADE ARE BACK!!!!!! I know that once this is posted, I know all of you will be waiting for me at the door! I’m beyond excited to see my Day 1s and excited to meet new friends! There will be some great vendors there too so come and show some love!!!! Come by this Saturday from 4-9pm to the Muse for Night Market!

Shout out to aunty @melangesbycc

Late Christmas Post: I got to spend Christmas with my mom & siblings. On both sides of our family, we have lost major people that hold special places in our hearts. I just want to say these words: Hold your family close to you. Everyone has their own things going on, but, it only takes a moment to send a text, make a call and if they are local, hang out with them. Build memories and let them know they mean something to you. I hope you all got to spend the holidays with your loved ones. Hold them tight, share laughs and be present. You never know what the future holds. #christmas #familytime

2025 was a bumpy ride! I traveled to Paris twice, Jamaica , Houston, ATL & Chicago all while searching for more within me. I gained wisdom through experience, lost people I loved deeply, rid my life of toxic relationships and thoughts (imposter syndrome) and learned that life doesn’t wait for you to feel ready. 2026 is my decision to stop shrinking my story. I’m committing to showing up consistently, creating more intentionally, and sharing my life as it unfolds-adventures, grief, growth, joy, and all. This isn’t just content. This is my real life, documented honestly. I’m ready for the ride! Are you? Prepare to be SICKAME! 👏🏾💜🎉 Respectfully, CC!

When I tell you I couldn’t even get in the building before they were screaming “The Vegan Chef is here” I had the line out the door! I love y’all down! Trap House Bingo with @diane_vivian_productions Y’all had me in here crying!
