We had the good fortune of connecting with Daminique Washington and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daminique, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
My business was inspired by my love for cooking, healthy lifestyle,and giving back. I would always host dinner events and volunteer at hospitals to help clean and cook for the families that stayed for long periods of time with their children. Spiced Up by Daminique is a great seasoning line that is known for its great taste in flavor and low sodium nutrition. I believe that you can enjoy amazing food while still staying healthy and lowering your salt intake.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Apart from being an entrepreneur I’m very interested in Public Health my work background is in healthcare. I love to be involved in the community giving back helping as much as I can. Which is one of the main purposes of my seasoning line a low sodium based product. Focusing on lowering hypertension while still being able to enjoy a great meal.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend came into town I would definitely schedule our week to be filled with good food, drinks, and adventure. Starting off on Monday: “Adair” kitchen for brunch I’m obsessed with their Hash-brown Casserole Tuesday: Buffalo Bayou Park for a Bike ride and check out the art sculptures around the area. Wednesday: Lost & Found for Wing night! Thursday: Museum of Fine Arts Friday: Trez Art & Wine Bar for the best Cocktails & Music Saturday: Ambriza Mexican Restaurant for great food & cocktails with a lake view. Sunday: The Breakfast Klub for the best Breakfast Restaurant in town.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I owe everything to God! Everything I prayed and worked for came to light through him. As well as aligning me with amazing work partners like Donald and Kimberly they were my constant supporters in my vision. Giving me guidance when needed the backbone to my process.
