About Us
Meet Diana Potora
I’ve always believed food is more than fuel. It’s connection. It’s energy. It’s courage on a plate.
My story began in a small Romanian kitchen, where food was how we showed love and how families stayed strong through hard times. When I moved to the UK in 2005, I carried that spirit with me and years later, when I left the corporate world to raise my children and start fresh, it was food that gave me my way forward.
From cooking homemade meals at my own kitchen table, Potora has grown into a thriving food business and learning hub that now feeds local families every week and inspires others to chase their food dreams. But Potora isn’t just about meals. It’s about courage, confidence, and freedom.
Through Potora Meals, we fuel busy lives with homemade food made with love and energy.
The Potora Academy is the learning and activation space within the Potora world.
It’s where I, Diana Potora, teach beyond business , guiding you to build your life, work, and confidence from a place of truth, courage, and flow.
This isn’t a traditional school. It’s a living classroom where food, freedom, and purpose come together.
A space to activate, not just learn - to re-shape how you live, create, parent, and lead.
Whether you’re a family re-imagining how life can look, an entrepreneur seeking alignment, or someone ready to turn passion into possibility, the Academy meets you where you are and helps you grow from there.

A Symbol of Freedom & Power
If you look closely at the ‘O’ in the Potora logo, you’ll notice a powerful symbol placed at its heart. This is Fawohodie: an ancient Adinkra symbol from the Akan people of Ghana.
It translates to freedom, emancipation, and independence. Traditionally, it represented liberation from slavery and oppression. Today, it’s a bold emblem of personal freedom; the right to break free from limitations, reclaim your power, and lead yourself with intention.
The curved, mirrored shapes within the circle symbolise balance, release, and wholeness. It’s a visual reminder that true freedom begins within, in how we live, lead, and nourish ourselves every day.
This symbol sits at the centre of the Potora brand, reflecting our mission to help you live with purpose, power, and freedom.
