Yes, you read that right. Prince, an avowed vegan, loved cheesecake. Be he only loved it when it was made by one person: Vanessa Drews.
This connection between her and Prince not only provided the conceptual framework for her cheesecake business (he literally named it: "Cheesecake Funk") but it also created an unforgettable story. We talk about how Prince came into the picture, how COVID-19 has affected her business, and how she perceived the George Floyd tragedy as a single, black mother.
