Phyllis Bowie

Phyllis Bowie
Board Member At-Large | Food Justice Advocate | Media Creator

“Prayer and being in service to others was the medicine I needed to lift myself up and find the beauty of living every day in gratitude.”

From Hollywood to Housing Advocate

A proud native of San Francisco’s Fillmore District and an Air Force veteran, Phyllis Bowie has lived a life of transformation—from TV screens to frontline advocacy. After a decade as a lifestyle expert and interior designer in the entertainment industry, Bowie’s career took an unexpected turn when she lost her television contract and agent. Facing skyrocketing rent, she was nearly evicted from her apartment of 25 years.

Hitting rock bottom, Bowie applied for food stamps and feared homelessness—an experience shared by many veterans and Black San Franciscans. Watching her community suffer from gentrification, displacement, and declining Black home and business ownership, she knew she had to take action.

Turning the Camera Around: Living with Phyllis

Phyllis launched her nonprofit Living with Phyllis—a local award-winning TV show and food blog that:

  • Destigmatizes food stamps
  • Teaches families how to eat well on a tight budget
  • Empowers communities through storytelling and education

Today, she uses media to uplift underserved voices, highlighting programs like Market Match at the Fillmore Farmers Market and providing hope and practical solutions to those in need.

Committed to Food Security & Health Equity

Phyllis focuses her community work on urban food access and education, especially in San Francisco’s Black communities. Her initiatives include:

  • Creating community vegetable gardens
  • Partnering with farmers markets and local leaders
  • Offering nutrition education to fight preventable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity

A Voice for the Community

Phyllis Bowie brings passion, resilience, and lived experience to NCLF’s board. She continues to serve with gratitude, joy, and a camera in hand, sharing stories and creating pathways for health and hope in the Fillmore and beyond.
