As the visionary Chef and owner of Nakia Laurence Gourmet Food Services, Kiesha Smith doesn't just provide nourishment; she offers a culinary embrace that reminds every client they are worthy of excellence. Her most cherished roles, however, are found within the walls of her home as a devoted mother of five and the supportive wife to Malcolm Smith, CEO of Victory Lab Micro Clean. Together, they are building a legacy of hard work and intentionality, with Kiesha’s bold, unwavering faith serving as the compass for their family. She speaks of her devotion with beautiful, natural courage, weaving grace and testimony into every conversation.
Beyond the kitchen and the home, Kiesha’s light shines brightly on the volleyball court, where she serves as a mentor and coach for Victory Volleyball Family. To her, coaching is a sacred calling to instill faith, confidence, and resilience in the next generation. Her commitment to the community is perhaps most felt during the two food drives she hosts each year, where she ensures that no one goes hungry and every soul feels seen. Her way of saying "thank you" to the heroes of the classroom (Teachers), is to wrap them in the same culinary embrace she offers to her own family. Whether she is whistling a play on the court or orchestrating a grand catered event, Kiesha’s life is a living prayer of service. She lives to leave the world a little softer and kinder, proving that when you lead with love and faith, you can truly change the flavor of a community.
