Recently, I had the pleasure of sharing the journey of Wadadli Dessert Oasis with Voyage Raleigh.
In reflecting on the journey, I have to say I am thankful to all those who have helped us to reach this point. I have worked with many organizers, market managers, cultural leaders, and even my children. This path has shown me what it is to internally conceptualize, and then to manifest. The energy it takes to bring forth on the creative realm is similarly as fruitful as bringing forth life. There have been many late nights and early mornings. Had it not been for the love of my community and loved ones, who knows what the journey may have looked like. Wadadli Dessert Oasis started with a simple idea, to bring elements of my family’s history and culture to life in a ital/plant based/vegan way. Wadadli Dessert Oasis was given its first opportunity to showcase our cuisine at a festival held by Ras John, and was well received. The feedback of good energy, dancing and people singing when they tried our menu is the reciprocal of the intentional good energy that goes into creating each dish/item. We share that experience with everyone who comes within our presence. So, thank you to each and every one who has interacted with us. You are valued, and we honor you. Take a look at the link above to see the article. Many thanks to Voyage Raleigh! - Chef Empress J/ Stacy Joseph
