From Diaspora Kitchen to Global Brand: Preserving Culture Through Flavor (w/ Dammi Sherri)

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.
