   ✨ Season 6 Premiere — Beyond the Plate RVA Podcast ✨🥕🍊 Season 6 of Beyond the Plate RVA is here and we are honored to kick off Women’s History Month with a phenomenal Black woman in food and wellness: Frances Odoi. Born of Ghanian descent but raised in Richmond, Frances is the Founder + Owner of CoCoGin LLC — a wellness brand that began with juicing ginger during the height of the pandemic and blossomed into a movement rooted in culture, community, and care. What started as intentional self-care became a thriving business built on alignment, purpose, and faith. In this powerful Season 6 opener, we go beyond the bottle. We talk about: • Building a business in uncertain times • Honoring heritage and healing traditions • Reclaiming our health as a community • Choosing wellness as a lifestyle — not a trend Frances’ story reminds us that when you listen to that inner nudge, trust your gifts, and serve with integrity, impact follows. CoCoGin is more than juice — it’s ritual, reset, and remembrance. 🗓 Episode Premieres: Thursday, March 5th at 6:30 PM EST 📺 Watch & Subscribe: 👉🏽 Follow Frances & CoCoGin Instagram: @cocogin_juice Facebook: @CoCoGinJuice Favorite motto: “Taste and See That Wellness is Good!” Richmond family and beyond, join us for a conversation that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
