Zedraielle Thompson owns ZesteaZed, a soon-to-be food truck focused on Navajo tacos and Navajo tea. Zed, as her friends call her, was born and raised on the Navajo reservation in Tsaile, Arizona, and moved to Colorado with her husband and small children in 2018. Zed has always loved cooking and as a child would help her mother cook and sell goods on the reservation to support their family. “My joy for cooking came from my mom. I take a lot of pride in it because it was my way of helping take care of my family.”
