In this inspiring episode of She’s in Progress, Alexandra surprises Chef Nayi Renaud — co-owner of The Perfect Layer — with the news that she’s the winner of our $1,000 small business grant. By chance, Chef Nayi was nearby and dropped into the studio to share her incredible journey.
Known for her Caribbean flair, bold flavors, and elegant layered desserts, Chef Nayi has led pastry programs at world-class restaurants, competed on Food Network, and now pours her artistry into The Perfect Layer alongside her husband and co-founder Marvin. Together, they’re building not only a thriving dessert business but also The Layered Foundation, a community program supporting neurodivergent children.
Driven by her faith, cultural heritage, and love for her family, Chef Nayi’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and purpose. This heartfelt conversation highlights how tradition, entrepreneurship, and passion can transform lives — one layer at a time.
