Today we’d like to introduce you to Jadacy Engram.
Hi Jadacy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story really began in the quiet places—where pain met purpose. After the devastating loss of my son, who was stillborn, I found myself deep in grief, barely able to rise some days. Cooking became my therapy. The kitchen turned into sacred ground—a place where I could process, pray, cry, and eventually… heal. From that healing, A Taste of Healing was born.
I didn’t set out to build a brand. I set out to breathe again. And in doing so, I discovered a calling: to create a space where other women—especially mothers navigating pregnancy and infant loss—could feel seen, nourished, and held. What started as a personal path of survival has become a soulful mission. Through intimate cooking experiences, storytelling, and devotionals like The Table is Enough, I now walk with other women through their own grief journeys—serving not just food, but restoration.
My work is rooted in advocacy, motherhood, and faith. I am a wife, a mother parenting after loss, and a believer that beauty still grows in broken places. I’m not here because the road has been easy. I’m here because I chose to keep walking. And now, I walk with others.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It’s definitely not been a smooth road. The deepest parts of my story were born out of unimaginable loss—the kind that leaves you breathless and broken. Losing my son shattered everything I thought I understood about life, faith, and motherhood. Grief wasn’t just emotional—it was physical, spiritual, and isolating. Some days, I couldn’t get out of bed. The weight of it all felt too heavy to carry, especially when the world seemed to keep moving like nothing happened.
Starting A Taste of Healing wasn’t born from a place of clarity, but from a place of desperation. I was trying to survive. Turning to food and faith was my way of coping, and eventually, healing. But building something meaningful while grieving is complicated. I had to navigate not only my own emotional healing, but the vulnerability of sharing my story publicly—especially as a Black woman, in spaces where pregnancy and infant loss are often overlooked or silenced.
There were (and still are) moments of doubt, moments where I’ve wrestled with purpose, identity, and burnout. But through it all, God has met me—right in the mess, right at the table. And that’s what I try to offer others now: a reminder that even in brokenness, there’s beauty. And even when the road isn’t smooth, it can still lead somewhere sacred.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My work lives at the intersection of grief, faith, and soulful nourishment. Through my brand A Taste of Healing, I create intimate culinary experiences, storytelling spaces, and devotional resources designed to support women—especially angel mamas—who are navigating the often-silent road of pregnancy and infant loss. I specialize in curating moments that feed both body and spirit—through beautifully styled meals, heartfelt conversation, and reflective writing that creates room for both sorrow and joy.
I’m known for blending elegance with empathy, creating a brand that feels both stylish and sacred. Whether it’s a shared table, a guided devotional like The Table is Enough, or a soulful conversation around motherhood, everything I offer is anchored in healing, beauty, and presence.
What I’m most proud of is that this work was born from my own pain—and yet it has become a place of hope and connection for others. I didn’t just survive my loss; I allowed God to use it to pour into something bigger. Now, I help other women find language for their grief and space for their healing.
What sets me apart is the way I hold space for both the broken and the beautiful. I don’t rush the process—I honor it. I don’t offer platitudes—I offer presence. And in a world that often wants women to “move on,” I remind them gently and boldly: the table is enough.
What does success mean to you?
I define success by impact, not applause. For me, success is creating spaces where women feel seen, safe, and supported—especially those who are walking through silent grief. It’s not about numbers or recognition. It’s about knowing that someone sat at the table I prepared and felt just a little less alone.
If one woman reads The Table is Enough and feels like she can breathe again… if one mother sits at one of my gatherings and finally feels heard… that is success to me.
It’s faithfulness over fame. Purpose over performance. And building something that lasts in the hearts of others, not just in the eyes of the world.
