OUR STORY

Meet Brandi Pettway, Owner

 

I am Brandi Pettway, Founder and Master Creator of Beauty and the Feast. I am an irregular prism with many sides and flavors. I am obsessed with art - visual, language, music, culinary… art IS my DNA. Creativity is my passion, outlet, and the way I share my love. I have over 35 years of cooking experience, and an entrepreneurial journey rooted in Mortar, GCMI, and Findlay Market Business academies. My goals are to build community, inspire others to follow their dreams, and create safe spaces where we can positively escape from this exhausting world we live in.

 

TEAM MEMBERS

 

Imani Williams is my daughter, and high school student with a passion for baking, cooking, and taking care of others. She loves trying new things especially when it comes to desserts. She takes pride in being a self-taught baker. As a matter of fact, she inspired me to start baking. She also has a creative eye and is multi-talented. Within Beauty and the Feast she bakes, preps, cooks, and creates amazing displays.

 

Shirley Sewell, my mother, is a seasoned cook, and has the most kitchen experience on the team. She is the one who set me on my culinary journey.  Her passion for taking care of others is always present. She is instrumental in the prepping process, and keeping things organized in the kitchen. 

 

Ada Sewell is my sister and tech support. She is great at putting together audio to fit the vibes of our different events and she keeps our systems running. Her creativity knows no limits.

 

Amina Williams, my daughter, is the youngest member of the team. Her energy and creativity always keeps us moving forward. She motivates us to keep family business going with her encouraging words and ideas. She is always willing to help prep, create displays, and promote our events and accomplishments. 

 

Isaiah Williams, my son, is the team member that stays more behind the scenes. He helps with deliveries, pick ups, and clean up. He is a junior at UC, majoring in Construction Management. And as our displays and events get bigger, he will be the one making sure everything is structurally sound.

Community - along with our everyday team members, we have volunteers (friends and peers) that jump in to help prep, set up, break down, and promote our events.
