Whitney Barnett founded Cibo Catering and Events, a Black-owned, woman-owned catering business based in Indianapolis, Indiana. 

Barnett, a professional chef since 2012, turned her love for soul food and Italian cuisine into a full-fledged business. It is in the business’ name, as the word ‘cibo’ is Italian for ‘food.’ The company, as its name implies, caters events of all sizes. 

Although Cibo Catering is headquartered in Indianapolis, it is not restricted to one locale. The business also serves Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California.

Barnett also owns the Positive Foodie Vibes Brand and is a diligent food access advocate.
