Eden the Foodie

I am the founder of BlackFoodie. I can't live without hot sauce, berbere or my passport! Bland food is my worst enemy! I love exploring culture through food and am on a mission to expose the world to the amazing flavor and cuisine that comes from the African diaspora. I want to see Black businesses flourish and aim to support them with every bite I take :)
