Her advocacy has earned her numerous accolades, including the 2022 Advocate of the Year Award by Women Against Abuse, the 2022 Champion Award from The LOHM, the 2023 Black Girl Magic Award from Urban Word NYC, and the 2023 Innovative Women in Community Award by Spectrum Circle. She also received the WANDA Food Shero Award and the Just Call Me Chef Maven Makes Moves Award, highlighting her commitment to community impact.

A survivor of domestic violence herself, Vincent brings both personal insight and professional expertise to her work. She serves on the board of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, YOUNITY, and Survivor Justice Action, guiding public policy and initiatives that provide essential services such as shelter funding, crisis counseling, and safety planning. She is deeply committed to helping survivors transition from merely surviving to thriving, and she works to erase the stigma surrounding domestic violence so individuals and families can access the resources they need to heal. Vincent’s personal mission is to normalize the conversation, not the behavior.

In 2023, Vincent and her husband, Troy, Executive Vice President of the National Football League, established The Vincent Commission in partnership with Niagara University. The commission includes research and education efforts centered on the perceptions, experiences, knowledge, perpetration, and victimization of gender-based violence among college students.

In addition to her advocacy, Vincent is the host of the Stay A While podcast, creating a space where women are encouraged to prioritize their mental well-being. She emphasizes that “the one unifying factor in every aspect of your life is you—so it’s critical to ensure you are good.” Drawing from her experiences with depression, she often incorporates lessons learned from her grandmother, Nana Edie, whose love and wisdom centered around cooking and family gatherings. Whether through workshops or coaching sessions, she uses food as a tool for healing, bringing people together around the table to foster authenticity, vulnerability, and meaningful connections.

Her culinary passion extends to her brand, “Tommi V.: Feels Like Comfort, Tastes Like Home,” blending professional cooking skills with the goal of creating nurturing spaces for clients. As a professional chef, she has worked with iHeart Radio, Morgan Stanley, and the NFL, offering meals that nourish both the body and the soul. She believes that cooking is not only a life skill but also a source of personal power.


Vincent is also the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Vincent Country®, a lifestyle brand that celebrates the strength of the Black family and promotes the values of “Faith, Family, and Food.” Through this platform, she offers transformative life coaching, including an annual Women’s Retreat, where attendees receive practical tools and emotional nourishment over shared meals.

Committed to community service, Vincent and her husband Troy also lead the Love Thy Neighbor Community Development & Opportunity Corporation (LTN), hosting events in Super Bowl cities to benefit local communities. Through collaborations with school systems, food suppliers, and resource providers, they aim to make a lasting impact wherever they go.

A firm believer in the power of your story, Vincent published her debut book, In Her Words: A Book of Quotes by Phenomenal Black Women, in 2022. She is currently working on her second book, slated for release in 2025, which will blend practical coaching insights with legacy-inspired recipes, inviting readers to learn, share, and heal through life’s challenges.


When she’s not speaking, coaching, or cooking,Vincent enjoys spending time with her family, making memories with her husband, their children, and loved ones through Vincent Country® adventures. Her mission is clear: to uplift women, foster healing, and empower families to thrive in every aspect of life.
