Let’s take a moment to give a huge shoutout to Chef Carla Briggs of Viola’s Heritage, a true force in the kitchen and a proud member of the Baddie with Business community. This past weekend at the 2025 ESSENCE Festival of Culture, Carla stepped on that stage during the Beignet Battle and did what she always does: showed up with purpose, flavor, and a deep respect for tradition.
She cooked, represented and walked away as the Beignet Champion!
We see you, Carla. We celebrate you. Keep raising the bar.
