Brandi T. Biggles, known within the Southern California culinary community as Chef Brandi, shops for produce at Lazy Acres market in Hermosa Beach on February 28, 2023. Each month, she creates her signature fire-grilled vegan artisan pizzas at the Prosperity Market, a traveling farmers market featuring Black farmers, vendors and chefs. Biggles helped the founders develop the market as she shared a similar vision of a mobile market and recalled having the idea drafted on her vision board which she displays on her bedroom wall. Today, she calls it her results board because she wants the results to come to fruition and not remain a vision. Biggles hopes to soon purchase a vehicle to house a mobile kitchen and travel the country, serving food in cities across the U.S.
