About Getting Grown

The Podcast for Every Season of Adulting. Our evolving society is rife with twists and turns, temptations, trials, and tests. Whew chile, what a trip! We’re negotiating careers, family and friends, relationships, politics, life transitions...all while learning the practice of self care. Gettin’ Grown Podcast was birthed by sister-friends, Chef Jade and Dr. Keia, to collectively process all it takes to survive and thrive in the worst hood, adulthood. Each week this hard- working and hilarious duo bond around the “kitchen table” to explore “the ghettos.

Chef Jade Verette, aka Jade of all Jades

Jade Verette aka JadeofallJades believes you deserve to feel good. Full stop. From the kitchen to your earbuds, the Brooklyn-based chef and veteran podcast personality brings distinct flavors, people, and topics into communion in ways that surprise and delight. Like many of her peers, the 2008 recession shifted Verette’s path, propelling her out of a career in the music industry, where she worked in A&R at a major record label, and into her passion for storytelling. She utilizes audio and the culinary arts to craft shared experiences of meaning-making. The themes of Verette’s work span the personal, cultural, and political, with fun-auntie commentary flush in honesty and humor. Through her two award-winning podcasts, Gettin’ Grown (co-hosted with Dr. Tykeia Robinson) and Jade + XD (co-hosted with Xavier D'Leau), Season 2 host of Heinz presents the Black Kitchen Series, and her internationally-touring dinner parties, For the Culture Catering; Verette cultivates digital and in-person spaces for authentic connection, where her audience of cosmopolitan humans of a variety of generations, can unwind, laugh, and reflect.
