From Grammy-nominated songwriter to pioneering chef, Bobbie Cheri is serving up more than flavor—she’s serving a cultural shift.
In a world where health trends rise and fade, Celebrity Chef Bobbie Cheri stands grounded in purpose. Once best known for penning Grammy-nominated song, she’s now leading a movement rooted in healing, heritage, and the audacity to reimagine the familiar. Her Los Angeles-based brand, Don’t You Dairy, is more than a dairy-free alternative—it’s a manifesto for change, especially in communities that have long been underserved.
“I want to create a world where dairy-free isn’t an exception—it’s the expectation,” Bobbie says. But her mission stretches far beyond ingredients. For her, food is political. It’s spiritual. It’s personal.
As a Black woman navigating both the entertainment industry and the wellness space, Bobbie understands the layers of being overlooked—at the doctor’s office, in health data, and at the dinner table. Don’t You Dairy was born out of that awareness, and out of love. It’s a call to arms wrapped in nourishment.

“We’re often dismissed in medical settings. Our pain is minimized. Our symptoms ignored,” she shares. “Prevention starts with what we consume, and too often, that conversation doesn’t include us. I want to change that.”
Every product she creates is infused with intention. It’s health-conscious, but never joyless. Flavor-rich, but rooted in wisdom. Her creations—whether a creamy cashew mac or a dairy-free sweet potato pie—prove that wellness and culture can sit at the same table.
But Bobbie isn’t just feeding bodies. She’s fueling a movement. One that dares to reclaim food traditions, center Black health, and challenge the status quo in a system that wasn’t built with everyone in mind.
With Don’t You Dairy, Bobbie Cheri has become a new kind of architect—one building bridges between taste and transformation. And in doing so, she’s redefining what nourishment means, one dish at a time.
