ABOUT ME

Hello! I’m Bevla, the creator of FLAMING OATS® packaged premium savory oatmeal and rebel Rule-Breaker who voluntarily went to summer school every year starting at age 14 just so I could graduate from high school early at 16 to get my career as a hairstylist started.  

And then went on to travel the world with Prince, Sheila E. and others as a Celebrity Hairstylist.  

I decided I wanted to flip houses without experience or money. I flipped 28 houses in 2 years.  

I have a little 1-bedroom condo and I put my bed in my living room next to the couch, because I love the vibe of an upscale hotel suite and made the bedroom a space for guests.  I enjoy having sleepovers with friends & family and wanted a comfortable space for them.

I only buy clothing with pockets because I don’t want to carry a purse.  

I'm a Black women with a blonde TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro) and wear all black clothing because I only want to do one load of laundry a week.

Creativity and entrepreneurship as a lifestyle are in my blood; I don't know how to live any other way.

I've helped over 100 women launch and grow their businesses through my former rule-breaking networking group and incubators for Fempreneurs.  

I created FLAMING OATS® out of necessity. I’m a busy single who often skips meals. I don’t keep much food in my kitchen because it’s just me—and when I do, it often goes to waste because I rarely have time to cook, and when I do, I tend to make more than I can eat. 

Either way, food ends up spoiled or tossed. 

So I knew I needed meals for one that were quick and easy to prepare, but also highly nutritious. 

With the intention of eating healthier, I once bought a bag of expensive organic whole grain oats. But they sat in my cabinet for months. 

I just couldn’t bring myself to prepare them the usual way—with sweet, sugary ingredients. I’ve always preferred savory meals over sweet ones, and I was trying to cut way back on sugar. 

Around that same time, I had picked up a number of other superfoods but didn’t know how to incorporate them into my diet, so they sat in the cabinet as well. 

That year, my daughter and her fiancé sent me a spice blend they had made for Christmas. It smelled amazing, and I LOVE spicy, but I had no idea what I’d use it on. 

Lo and behold—one day I had a lightbulb moment and thought, “What if I combined these superfoods with the spicy seasoning and made a savory bowl of oats?” I had never tried savory oatmeal before! I was so excited by the idea, I had to try it immediately. 

It was delicious. I couldn’t stop eating it! It was so filling and energizing that I often skipped my next meal—not because I was trying to, but because I just wasn’t hungry. 

It gave me sustained energy for hours. If I ate it for lunch, I could easily skip dinner. I made it for myself for five years before I ever thought to package it. 

But during the pandemic and COVID lockdowns, I realized how valuable it would be to have it pre-packed—something shelf-stable that I could stock up on in case of an emergency.  

Plus, I wanted the convenience of having all the ingredients together in one package so I could take it on the go or travel with it. 

And with that, FLAMING OATS® was born!

I've done many bold things in my life as a rebel entrepreneur, and now I’m bringing bold, delicious, highly nutritious packaged savory oatmeal to the masses, pre-packaged in convenient, easy to prepare single meals, so you can be bold and break the rules too.   

I hope you give FLAMING OATS® a try; you won't regret it. 

FLAMING OATS® is a party in your mouth and nourishment for your body and soul! 

You've never had oatmeal quite like this before. Promise.
