When Ms. Ouadje arrives in the United States by herself she felt out of place and integration to a new environment is always a slow process. While visiting Washington DC one day she came across some African products being sold in an Asian owned store. She decided to purchase a large quantity of African food product that day as they help alleviate the nostalgia she felt being so far away from mother Africa. Once she got home that day her chicken was finally a familiar territory, she found joy taking over her whole body as she thought about what she would cook. No matter how difficult her week was cooking for the following week would now be something she excelled at. The smell of the food in the pot taking over the whole kitchen made her feel as if she was still in her country of origin. She knew that no matter what unfamiliar situation she could face in this new country her kitchen didn’t have to be part of the unknown or unfamiliar. At that moment she imagined that feeling in every kitchen owned by the ever growing African diaspora all over Washington DC. She decided to work hand and hand with her husband back home in Cameroon to make sure all her friends kitchens were filled with African cooking products. She started importing African food to the United States and developing a relationship with retailers in the Washington DC and Silver Spring area to distribute her product in their store. With dedication and prayers she went from using the front sit of her pick up as an office for her growing business to establishing a company which distributes African product in over 40 states in the U.S.
