Hopefully his passion for food and culture will still shine through and be an inspiration to those struggle coping with life to get the support they need. The aim of our TV channel is to bring people together and inspire them to do more in their lives as well as in the lives of others. We don’t want anyone to feel isolated and alone, and that by doing this we can help.”
