Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Leverett.
Hi Christina, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
7suns2moons is a family-owned vegan meal prep and catering business specializing in the transitional vegan diet. The name is derived from our children seven boys and two girls. My husband Jerry and I have been vegan for over 28 years. When we met Jerry did not eat pork and I did not eat beef, so we canceled red meat from our diets completely. This journey eventually led us to cutting all animal products and by-products from our diet. We eventually birthed six vegan children. The vegan community was still very young at that time. I remember how difficult it was due to the lack of variety in vegan foods. So I started making my own mock meats and cheese from scratch to design dishes. I started recreating family recipes and dishes that still had that full flavor to satisfy the palate. This led me to help others transition smoothly as well and eventually open their minds to a whole new world. And this is how 7suns2moons was born. Our company now offers weekly meal prep, catering and cooking classes throughout Atlanta.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road we started in the beginning of the pandemic. Many festivals that we invested in canceled, items were not available for weeks or completely out of stock and products doubled almost tripled in price. On top of that, we still had to maintain or mental and physical health.
We’ve been impressed with 7suns2moons, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Our specialty is comfort food. Our meal prep is very diverse. When we participate in festivals and pop-ups in Georgia.

Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
Organization Finance and knowing there will bump along the road.
1. Organization is key to businesses, from planning months in advance work schedules, menus and inventory.
2. When it comes to finance don’t use your own money. We had to learn this the hard way. Have a business plan get all of your ducks in order to get loans/grants. It’s also good to have a mentor for assistance in finances as well
3. And just knowing no matter how hard you plan and organize, there will be some bumps in the road. You definitely have keep flowing and do your best.
