Ripe's video: Youngest Vegan Chef Omari Mcqueen Starts his own Company Dipalicious

Youngest award winning chef and youth empowerment speaker Omari Mcqueen of The United Kingdom began his journey of becoming a chef when he first started cooking at the age of seven years old, when his mother fell ill from hemiplegic migraines which is a rare and serious type of migraine headache that symptoms mimic those of a stroke and causes paralysis on one side of the body. Omaris parents taught him and his older brother how to cook when, his mother could not prepare meals for the family, and his father was working late. Thus began his passion for cooking. After coming across a video on youtube about veganism he continued his research on the subject and became passionate about learning and teaching kids how to eat better and healthier. Omaris ascension as a Ceo and founder of his company Dipalicious which has 3 flavored dips, the Caribbean kick which, is made with pineapple, mango and chilis, Sweet tooth which is made with mangoes, pear, and peach, and last but not least coconut curry started when he was eight years old when he filmed himself for a youtube video making a pizza. He felt the pizza was dry and didn’t know if Heinz tomato sauce was vegan. So he made his first sauce the caribbean kick. After rave reviews on the taste of his sauce from family members his trajectory and mind was set he decided to start selling his sauces to the public. Omari now has his own pop ups across the UK as well as a meal preparation service, and a strong following of vegan loyalists! Now just 11 years old, he is currently saving up to have is own “bus-converted restaurant as well as ready meals for kids.” His hard work is not going unrecognized.
