Draya Michele is stepping into a new chapter, revealing that she has been attending culinary school and embracing what she calls her “Culinaire” era.
The former Basketball Wives star shared the update on Instagram, where she posted clips of herself actively training in the kitchen. The footage shows Draya working through hands-on techniques, from prepping ingredients to executing skills like flambé, offering a closer look at her transition from reality television to culinary training.
Draya explained that the journey has been underway for months, describing it as an unexpected but fulfilling shift. She noted that becoming a chef had not always been part of her plans, but her long-standing interest in cooking for loved ones led her to take the next step and refine those skills through formal education.
While she did not disclose the name of the culinary school or outline specific career goals, Draya expressed enthusiasm about the direction she is heading.
The transition has been building gradually across her social media presence. Earlier this year, Draya shared a pasta-making moment alongside her daughter, Lyght Green, offering an early glimpse into her growing confidence in the kitchen. Prior to that, she posted videos experimenting with dishes such as candied yams, focusing on technique and presentation.
Draya previously faced online criticism after past comments about cooking for her oldest son resurfaced. Now, with formal training underway and a steady stream of kitchen-focused content, Draya is repositioning herself through a new craft, evolving from her reality television roots into a different creative space.
