RICHMOND, Va. Philadelphia native turned Richmonder Tyenella Hall says being in the kitchen, whipping up some of her Nanaâs handwritten recipes lifts her spirits like nothing else can.
âCooking saved my life, period,â said Hall, an Army veteran and licensed nurse who found herself suffering with PTSD after a tragic loss.
Hall, who never shies away from her truth, said cooking was the one thing that helped.
âWith my PTSD, cooking gave me a regimen that allowed me to step outside of being stuck inside of a bubble with medication, Hall said. explained. So as a result of cooking, I no longer have to take medication.
