Hey, I’m Natasha—the founder of Asili Glam, a full-time content creator, published cookbook author, former corporate marketer, and modern-day homemaker redefining what it means to “do it all.”
I started Asili Glam in the summer of 2011, fresh off a move to Harlem for my first job at Macy’s corporate office. Surrounded by the vibrant energy of the city, I was inspired by the natural hair movement, bold fashion, and everyday beauty I saw on the streets of uptown Manhattan. The name Asili means “natural” in Swahili, and paired with Glam, it felt like the perfect blend of my roots and my vibe—a little effortless, a little elevated.
Over the years, what started as a creative outlet has grown into a lifestyle brand that reaches millions each month across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and my blog asiliglam.com. My content lives at the intersection of food, family, beauty, and home—where natural meets glam in every part of life.
I’m a proud Jamaican American, daughter of immigrants, and University of Florida grad who spent nearly a decade climbing the corporate ladder before stepping out on faith to pursue this business full-time. That leap wasn’t easy, but it led me here—to a life where I get to help women feel more confident, creative, and in control of their everyday routines.
If you’ve seen one of my viral recipes—maybe my famous one-pan chicken drumsticks with broccoli and cheese rice or my lemon garlic parmesan chicken thighs—you know I love keeping things simple, flavorful, and family-approved. My goal is to make you feel like you’ve just met your new instant friend. Someone who gets what it’s like to juggle life, motherhood, ambition, and still want dinner on the table by 6.
I’ve had the honor of being featured by Good Morning America, The Feed Feed, Hello Sunshine, The Good Dish and more—and have partnered with brands like Whole Foods, Wegmans, Talenti, Heinz, ALDI, Amazon, Knorr, Acme, and Weber. Beyond recipe development, I wear many hats: photographer, producer, marketer, and on-camera talent—all in service of telling stories that feel real and rooted.
At the heart of everything I do is this: life should feel beautiful—but it should also feel doable. That’s the sweet spot where Asili Glam lives.
Thanks for being here. You belong.
