Meya Hill

Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Meya Hill was immersed in the rich culinary traditions of their family, where food was the centerpiece of every celebration. This upbringing sparked a lifelong passion for cooking and instilled a deep appreciation for the power of food to unite people. After earning an associate’s degree from Escoffier Culinary Arts in 2021, Hill refined their skills as a chef and began teaching culinary arts for a non-profit organization.

Over the past five years, Hill has participated in food competitions and cooking shows, while also sharing their expertise with the community—empowering others to thrive in the culinary world. Their cooking philosophy blends traditional techniques with modern creativity, using food as a form of storytelling and a tool for building community.

Currently, Hill is pursuing an entrepreneurial venture, Savor the Momentz, which focuses on Southern cuisine and cross-cultural cooking. Through this initiative and collaborations with the House of Bah Foundation, Hill continues to innovate while remaining dedicated to teaching and serving the community through meaningful culinary experiences.
