In this episode of Conversations from the Diaspora, I’m joined by Dammi Sherri, a Nigerian-Irish entrepreneur and the founder of Sísè Foods—a brand on a mission to make African home cooking simple, flavorful, and accessible for modern living.
Dammi shares her journey from working in financial services to creating a food brand that started as a personal fix in her own kitchen. We talk about:
The immigrant experience in Ireland and how it shaped her perspective
Why preserving culture through food is so important
The realities of starting small, bootstrapping, and growing intentionally
What it means to balance purpose, business, and personal life as a founder
This is more than a food story—it’s about identity, heritage, and building something that keeps culture alive in everyday kitchens.
🎙️ Tune in for a conversation that blends food, entrepreneurship, and the African diaspora experience in such a beautiful way.
