My mom, BeBe, has always had a quiet kind of presence. The kind that doesn't demand attention but commands respect. Graceful, soft spoken, and deeply thoughtful. Folks used to call her the Black Martha Stewart. But honestly, she's always reminded me more of Ina Garten. Calm in the kitchen, deliberate with her touch, and somehow able to make a simple meal feel like a five star experience.

Back in early 2020, right before the pandemic changed everything, BeBe had a heart issue that landed her in the hospital. It was one of those moments that shook the whole family. Thankfully, she was seen in time, had a successful surgery, and came home with a new lease on life and a new set of rules from her doctor. Rule number one: cut the salt.

Now, BeBe isn't the type to complain. She just quietly adjusted. But I knew she still wanted to support what I was building with Uncle Dibbz Seasoning. I had just started developing the brand, and like any good mother, she wanted to be part of it. The only catch? She needed something she could actually use that wouldn’t work against her recovery.

So I went back to the lab and developed a salt free seasoning blend just for her. One with real flavor, not that bland, chalky stuff people often settle for. And I didn’t just create it for her.. I named it after her. BeBe Salt Free.

Even the label means something. That Carolina Blue? That’s a nod to where she went to school. Tar Heel through and through. But it’s also a symbol of her elegance and strength.. subtle, but impossible to miss.

Here’s the part that still sits heavy with me. If her episode had happened just a couple weeks later, when the hospitals were flooded with COVID cases, she might not have been seen in time. The timing, the grace of it all.. it’s something I don’t take for granted.

That whole experience changed the way our family eats. Sodium, processed food, cutting corners in the kitchen—we started paying more attention. And as word spread about BeBe Salt Free, I realized it wasn’t just helping her. It was helping a lot of other people too. Folks who wanted to take better care of themselves or their loved ones without sacrificing flavor.

This seasoning isn’t just another product on the shelf. It’s purpose in a bottle. It’s a tribute. It’s a reminder that love shows up in many ways—and sometimes, it shows up in something as simple as what you put on your food.

If you’ve got someone you love who needs to watch their sodium.. or if you're just being proactive.. BeBe Salt Free was made with them in mind.

Because sometimes the quietest people leave the loudest impact.
