Fund the future of Food Freedom🌾

As we approach 10 years of WANDA in 2026, we’re celebrating a decade of seeding hope, nourishing communities, and growing the next generation of food sheroes across the African Diaspora — and inviting you to grow with us.

For nearly a decade, WANDA has stood at the frontlines of food justice, cultural nutrition education, and Black women’s leadership in food and health systems. Together, we’ve built a movement rooted in culture, community, and collective healing. Fund the dream: https://iamwanda.org/fund

✨ Together, we’ve achieved so much:

🌍 Advanced the education of women in nutrition and agriculture— from Nigeria to Oklahoma to D.C. through our WANDA Scholars Program.

🍎 Expanded WANDA Academy— bringing culturally rooted food-as-medicine training to doulas, educators, and families.

🎶 Launched Little WANDA— our patented character with storytelling-powered edutainment universe helps children become healthy eaters, joyful readers, and confident leaders.

🍽️ Hosted over 500 women and families at our Sisterhood Suppers from Europe, Africa to America creating sacred spaces for Black women to build community, spark candid conversations, and break cornbread or fufu together.

📜 Led the Food Bill of Rights Campaign— educating policymakers and communities about their right to affordable, accessible, culturally affirming foods, the foundation of true food democracy.

And on December 18, you’re invited to join our next gathering: Sisterhood Supper: Kwanzaa Celebration — a vibrant celebration of unity, purpose, and community joy.

🤝 And we continue to expand our Friends of WANDA.

Because, as the African proverb reminds us: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

We are grateful to the many partners who have walked with us — those who saw our vision early, believed in our mission, and helped us grow from a seed to a thriving movement. Your trust and collaboration continue to carry us forward.

🌿 Why Give Today?

Because culturally grounded food education isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Because Black women deserve spaces of leadership, protection, and belonging. Because our stories, recipes, and traditions carry ancestral wisdom the world needs.

And because the dream of food freedom needs fuel.

🌱 Help Us Grow the Next 10 Years.
