She was born and raised in North Carolina. She would later move to California in pursuit of an acting career. It seems she has had a love for being in front of the screen and performing art from an early age.

She has even tried acting and stand-up comedy, but with little success.

However, she truly found her voice and space as a vegan influencer in late 2017.

Tabitha suffered from chronic pain, which had prevented her from pursuing a career in acting. However, in 2017, she started Uber driving as funds in her disability insurance coverage were running out. She could not rely on her side-acting gigs to make ends meet.

Around the same time, she turned vegan to help manage the chronic pain and fatigue condition, on the advice of her daughter. She started sharing her experience as a vegan on her socials and, in the process, broke into the world of social media influencers.

She reviewed Whole Foods Market’s vegan BLT sandwich. The video went viral and, on the first day, amassed over 500,000 views, peaking at over a million views on the second day. On the back of her viral video, she would be named as an official Whole Foods Market brand ambassador.

Over the years she emerged as a social media influencer, and she has garnered plaudits, including being nicknamed “America’s Mom” by HuffPost. She continues to serve her more than 13 million social media followers, providing vegan recipes, life advice, comedic relief, and wholesome content.

Tabitha is also an author. She has published four books and become a New York Times Bestseller. Her first book, Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business), which was published on September 28, 2021, earned her first #1 New York bestseller status. She has also published other books, such as:

• Finding Our Way to Joy, Love and Freedom,
• Seen, Loved, and Heard: A Guided Journal for Feeding the Soul, and
• Cooking from the Spirit

In just three years, she has published four successful books. Not many people have achieved that.
