Juka's Organic — leaders

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Juka's Organic Co. (@jukasorganic) It’s lunch 🥙 time. On the menu RED PALM OIL SAUCE over Sautéed Salmon, Quinoa & Garnished with shredded Carrots 🥕 & Thyme. It always puts a smile on my face when we have the opportunity to share love through food. The event was positive and all about women. Eating right doesn’t have to be a diet but a lifestyle. A conscious decision you make daily about what goes in your body. It can all start from simple steps, by adding more healthy oils in your kitchen...

I had the pleasure to be interviewed by LazyNigerianChef, listed & recognized by CNN as the top 5 African food bloggers you need to start following.

The women farmers we work with in Africa and to help in the little ways I can to advance the continent. Yes it’s cliche, and far fetched, but if we all do the little we can, in our small circles or pockets of this world, we will all have a better one. I also love sharing Africa’s culture with the rest of the world. Particularly, through healthy food...
