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

Hi Tyonia, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
As an Private Chef, Caterer, Content Creator and Entrepreneur, I live a constant roller coaster of wins and losses. Consistency is the name of the game. As my journey has evolved over the year, I tend to take on victory more because even the losses are an opportunity to learn and grow. Ultimately, with anything anyone is pursuing in life, I think it’s important to ask oneself if you still have a deep passion and love for what it is you are pursuing. Have you met any goals since you started? Are you currently making money back from all your hard work or are you at least confident the payoff is going to happen? You finish what you start & keep going. Ultimately, I believe in myself and what I’m doing so I feel an obligation to make it happen. Laser focus, dedication, and consistency are usually gonna get you there at some point.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
House Of Lux Kitchen isnt just a catering service. We offer a wide variety of services from Private Chefing, Meal preps, Cookbooks & our very own seasoning. Taste This All Purpose Seasoning being our #1 Seller. Coming from a struggle, to a joining the military, to become the person I want & need to be! Very early on I knew I wanted to become my own boss. I started out working 3 jobs from age 16. My walks of life were never easy starting with loosing a parent very early in my childhood. I started out just filming content, it started doing so well it became an everyday thing. After reaching my very first 1 Million Views & Engagement on a video I started taking it serious & not letting my foot up on the gas. All GAS NO BRAKES! Then recipes were being followed by strangers & love was coming in from all angles. I lost my job Jan 01, 2023. I took it as a sign from God to follow my heart. I have always been very tech-savy/ business-savy. I love educating myself more on whatever it is Im currently tackling. I started my very own spice blend at 22 which then shortly after followed my cookbooks. I was playing around in the kitchen with multiple spices & decided why not a ALL-IN-ONE Spice Blend. In All Honestly starting my very own spice blend actually just fell into my lap with my passion for cooking. I get to make clients happy through something I love. The joy for cooking became an everyday thing. I no longer felt alone. I then realized shortly after discharging from the military….that Cooking was my thing! All you need is One! One time, One video, One thing. I am now looking to get my seasoning in stores & on Amazon for sell outside of direct site at HOUSEOFLUXKITCHEN.COM

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Houston will always be a time to be had! It’s full of Fun, Entertainment & Amazing Black Owned Food Establishments. An ideal itinerary would have to start with breakfast at Taste Kitchen + Bar. This has to be my top brunch/breakfast. Has amazing food, entertainment/music & hookah. It’s Never a good brunch without Mimosas + Hookah. Followed by Seaside for lunch/dinner! I have a very intriguing list of all the fun that is waiting to be had here in Houston.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to thank no one other than the man above. Without God I am nothing. He has blessed me with many high favorable talents that I get to showcase via content creation. I believed in myself enough to keep going day after day one foot infront of the other. Without God my brand House Of Lux Kitchen would be nothing!
