Debonette Wyatt is an entrepreneur, retail executive, author, speaker, and the founder of My Mama's Vegan, an award-winning plant-based food company built from a journey of resilience, healing, and reinvention.

With more than 25 years of leadership experience managing multi-million-dollar businesses for nationally recognized retailers, Debonette spent decades helping build successful brands, develop teams, and create exceptional customer experiences. From launching products into major retailers such as Whole Foods Market and Harris Teeter to leading high-volume operations for brands including Macy's, Ulta Beauty, and Ann Taylor LOFT, she built a career helping businesses grow. But after years of pouring into everyone else, she found herself facing burnout, exhaustion, and a growing need to reclaim her own health and wellness.

In 2023, Debonette stepped away from the constant grind and began a personal journey centered around healing through plant-based nutrition, mindfulness, rest, and intentional living. What started as a commitment to improving her own health quickly evolved into something much bigger. Through food, she rediscovered her energy, her purpose, and a renewed vision for the future. What many people viewed as a setback became the foundation for one of the most transformative chapters of her life.

That transformation fueled the continued growth of My Mama's Vegan, a company she founded in 2020 with a simple mission: create plant-based food that feels familiar, comforting, and full of flavor. Today, the brand is recognized for its bold approach to vegan comfort food and has earned accolades including Best of Baltimore from The Baltimore Sun and national recognition as one of the top vegan dining destinations in the United States.

Through restaurant operations, chef residencies, pop-ups, catering, community events, wholesale partnerships, product development, and nationwide shipping, Debonette has built more than a food business. She has built a brand rooted in connection, culture, wellness, and possibility.

As a mother of three and a lifelong entrepreneur, Debonette's story is proof that success is not always a straight line. Sometimes the greatest growth happens when you're willing to pause, rebuild, and choose yourself. Her journey continues to inspire others who are navigating change, pursuing wellness, building businesses, or simply searching for the courage to begin again.

Today, Debonette is expanding My Mama's Vegan into a nationally recognized lifestyle brand through food products, culinary experiences, education, wellness initiatives, and media opportunities. Her mission is to show people that healing can begin with a single decision, that food can bring people together, and that it's never too late to reinvent your life.

From corporate executive to wellness advocate, from burnout to breakthrough, and from one homemade burger to an award-winning national brand, Debonette Wyatt is building a legacy rooted in flavor, purpose, and transformation.
