@Afrolems A huge thank you to those who recognize our potential, even when all we have is our name.

The significance of the first image is I had no idea what the Moonshot event was about until the boss I worked for @Afrolems as a Chef Assistant , asked if I would love to attend. She then paid for my ticket because she believed I'd benefit from it.

@dee_megamind Well done Sheriff! Rooting for you always

The 1st frame was taken at 2023 Moonshot where I first saw and listened to the Honorable Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy- Dr. Bosun Tijani. The 2nd was taken in 2026 as he, together with the Minister of Education, awarded me a 50m grant for my start-up

To following in their footsteps and continuing our journey to make local Nigerian food writing/storytelling as ubiquitous as music journalism 🥂🥗

our taste buds owe so much to to Kitchenbutterfly, 9ja foodie, Afrolems, Iquo ukoh and all the women who document, preserve and innovate the bridge between West African food and the world.

Today a modern West African restaurant has a Michelin star (Chishuru), and restaurants like Ona and Ajoje are vibrant examples of what an informed conversation on our indigenous gastronomy is supposed to taste like

started @UncookedWomen as a fun show with a friend, but since then I’ve grown so much as a storyteller local food blogging/writing that started as far back as 2007, has been instrumental in informing both continental & diasporic West Africans about our cuisines and foodways
