Meet Jenny “KôHënnă” Lawrence — Louisiana-born Creole Native Indian chef, culinary alchemist, and botanical-based wellness innovator.
Drawing from her Choctaw Afro-Indigenous heritage, KôHënnă infuses ancestral wisdom, Creole soul, and Indigenous healing traditions into every creation. As the founder and CEO of Gingerbeet, she has built a movement that merges plant-based cuisine with botanical alchemy — creating globally inspired plant-based dishes.
Her mission goes far beyond the plate. With an honorary doctorate in Traditional Medicine and Ancestral Healing, KôHënnă is a passionate advocate for food justice and accessibility, working with a wide range of organizations to bring wellness education and healthy food to underserved communities across Washington, D.C.
Now she is bringing her vibrant, soulful approach to DCTV’s Fast Food — serving up quick, creative, and healing plant-based recipes that prove healthy eating can be simple, flavorful, and transformative.
