Empower Noire: From Survivor to Food Truck Owner

Hi, I’m Noire — a single mom, a survivor of domestic violence, TruckHER, ordained minister and a self-taught cook with a food truck dream I’ve carried in my heart longer than I can remember.

When I left my past behind, I walked away with nothing but my children, a few recipes, and the will to rebuild from scratch. Since then, I’ve worked every job I could, cooked every meal I could sell, and saved every dollar I could spare — all while raising my two girls and healing from what we survived.

I’m this close to finally owning a food truck of my own — a place where I can build generational security, feed my community with love, and prove to my child that we can rise without asking permission.

I don’t have credit. I don’t have investors.

But I do have grit, vision, and everything on the line.

If you feel led to help bring this dream to life — thank you. If not, thank you for simply seeing me.

This isn’t just about a food truck.

This is about freedom, dignity, and building something that was once used to break me — into something that will feed others.

With all my heart,

Noire “Tee Tee” Whitehead
