Over the next few weeks, we’ll be working with museums and nonprofit organizations to continue building our exclusive line. A small sneak peek of what’s to come. Quiet Bloom. Coming soon. #ComingSoon #QuietBloom

✨ Happy New Year from Wadulisi’s ✨ We’ve been busy behind the scenes—refreshing our website, refining our offerings, and preparing for a big next chapter. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be reopening our online store with a new lineup of dried goods, candles, and soaps, while continuing to offer cultural education classes and private chef experiences. As we move forward as a fully for-profit business, our nonprofit and free community programming will live through our ongoing collaboration with The Hive, allowing us to grow sustainably while staying rooted in community. More coming soon—stay tuned. 🐝 #HappyNewYear #Wadulisis #IndigenousOwnedBusiness #SmallBatchGoods

Today I got to see the photo my daughter took — the one that was chosen for a museum exhibit. Seeing her picture on the wall, telling our story and honoring our ancestors, was a moment I’ll never forget. ❤️ I wrote about the full experience here: 👉 The Day My Daughter Took a Photo That Became an Exhibit https://share.google/Pv7zdjh1qq16hJDgA (Clickable link is also in my bio!) #IndigenousFoodways #ThreeSisters #NativeChefs #FoodSovereignty #CulturalRevitalization #WeAreStillHere #FamilyLegacy

🌿 Honored & Humbled 🌿 Wadulisi’s LLC was recently featured by SweetGrass Trading Co. for our work in preserving Indigenous foodways and culture through modern Indigenous cuisine. What started as a small idea — honoring ancestral ingredients while reimagining them for today — has grown into a movement that celebrates resilience, community, and innovation on every plate. We’re grateful to SweetGrass for shining a light on the heart of what we do: blending traditional ingredients, like those found in our herbal teas and contemporary dishes, with the stories that connect us all. https://sweetgrasstradingco.com/2025/10/08/63018/?fbclid=IwdGRzaANaJ9pjbGNrA1ony2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEedc0vjuz1OXjF8gF8mDbyyfFRPORCozfyALOju_SmhsZ6ms981I8tF42LDrA_aem_qTsghNlUI01G8NTGhBCKdQ#:~:text=Wadulisi%27s%20LLC%20and%20The%20Hive,in%20herbal%20tea%3A%20Ingredient%20spotlight Read the full feature at sweetgrasstradingco.com 🐝 #Wadulisis #IndigenousCuisine #NativeOwnedBusiness #FoodSovereignty #CulturalPreservation #ModernIndigenousFood #IndigenousChef #SweetGrassTradingCo #CommunityStrong
