What Taylor Likes

I am from Dallas, Texas, and I am a descendant of the Fulani (you can read more about my bloodline here). My journey has been anything but ordinary. I started at Vassar College, where I studied International Studies and Arabic, before earning my law degree from Penn State Law. Along the way, I’ve lived in Germany, the Middle East, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas, each place adding depth to my perspective.

​

Despite my global experiences, I remain deeply connected to my roots. I proudly serve on the Alumni Board for Parish Episcopal School, where I give back to the community that helped shape me, and I am an active member of the African American Alumnae/i Association of Vassar College (AAAVC) Committee, working to strengthen the ties between admissions, Vassar alumni and current students. My path hasn’t been linear—I’ve faced challenges, career shifts, and moments of profound growth that have shaped the way I see the world.

​

I’ve always been a mix of ambition, curiosity, and bold energy—driven, but with a laid-back, effortlessly cool vibe. I’m the type of person who can hold deep conversations and crack jokes in the same breath, who loves luxury but also knows how to keep things real. I live life on my own terms, and I want to help others do the same.

​

Alongside my legal career, my love for food, travel, and storytelling has been a constant. Plant-based eating isn’t just about what’s on my plate—it’s a lifestyle that influences my travels, the products I use, and the experiences I seek. I believe in making life rich with experiences, connections, and moments that truly matter.

​

Through What Taylor Likes, I get to merge all these passions into one space. It’s where I share the highs, the lessons, and the things that make life exciting. From the best vegan eats to navigating life’s big transitions, I hope my journey encourages you to embrace yours—without limits, without hesitation.

​

So, if you're here for real talk, great food, travel inspo, and a little bit of luxury sprinkled in, welcome. Let’s explore, grow, and live well—together.
