These two awards will forever be two of my favourite awards. Each time I see them they will remind me that you can definitely achieve anything you set your mind towards. I started Cuisine by Noel in the middle of a pandemic which is strange to do and I’ve also worked on my banking and decorating skills during this time as well and to be recognized for it means the world to me. I also can’t thank the Noel Nation for their continued love and support. Without them, these awards wouldnt be possible.

ByBlacks is a top-ranked award-winning online magazine dedicated to spotlighting individuals in the Black community in Canada. Winners of the Byblacks awards are decided by the public each year.
