Gordon is originally from the fertile, lush island of Grenada. She migrated to the states when she was 17 years old, she said. Her father gave her her first book on juicing and she would experiment as a kid. With her father’s encouragement, she fostered an interest in cooking. “I ask people to pay attention to all areas of their lives,” said Gordon, “their bodies, their minds, their spirit.”
