Who will nourish the next generation? 💚

The answer may be sitting in a classroom, building their career, discovering their leadership potential, or waiting for someone to invest in them.

With a $280 gift, you can help an emerging Food Shero access mentorship, career coaching, leadership development, and opportunities to grow through the WANDA Academy.

Because when we support emerging leaders today, they can create lasting change tomorrow. 🌱

Invest in the person who will nourish the next generation.

✨ Give $280. Support a Food Shero’s Career.

Help us continue growing toward our $28,000 Give 8/28 goal.

🤎 Black Breastfeeding Week 2026 🤎

For 15 years, Black Breastfeeding Week has honored the power of our stories, our families, and our communities.

Breastfeeding is more than feeding. It is care. It is connection. It is culture. It is community.

This week, we celebrate the Black mothers who nourish, the birth workers who support, and the villages that show up along the way. Because when we care for Black mothers and babies, we strengthen the health and well-being of our entire community.

We all we got. And we’ve got each other. ✊🏾

Happy Black Breastfeeding Week!
August 25–31, 2026

Nourishment starts with knowledge. 🌿

The people caring for families deserve tools that help them turn nutrition knowledge into meaningful, everyday support.

With a $82 gift, you can help provide food as medicine training for families, birth workers, and caregivers—equipping them to nurture healthier families and communities.

When we invest in the people doing the caring, the impact reaches far beyond one person. 💚

Give $82. Give 8/28. Help us nourish the community.

$28 can help a young learner grow. 🌱📚

A book can open a door. Food literacy can shape how a child understands food, culture, and their own wellbeing.

With a $28 gift, you can help place a culturally affirming food-literacy book and resources into the hands of a young learner.

Because when we invest in children, we’re growing more than readers—we’re growing healthy eaters, curious minds, and brighter futures. 💚

Give $28. Give 8/28. Help us grow toward our $28,000 goal.

❤️ Happy World Jollof Day!

From the kitchens of West Africa to tables around the world, jollof is more than a dish—it’s culture, history, memory, and community in every pot.

Jollof’s roots are often traced to the Senegambia region and the Wolof people, with generations of cooks across West Africa putting their own spin on this beloved dish. 🇸🇳🇬🇲🇳🇬🇬🇭🇸🇱🇱🇷

At WANDA, we know food tells a story. Today, we celebrate the people, traditions, and communities that keep those stories and those flavors alive. 🌍✨

So tell us: who makes the best jollof? 👀🍚

For 10 years, WANDA has been nourished by a village. 💛🌱

Food Sheroes, scholars, partners, volunteers, funders, educators, health professionals, farmers, entrepreneurs, families, and friends have each helped shape WANDA’s story through their time, talent, and treasure.

Now, as we celebrate 10 years of WANDA, we want to hear from YOU. ✨

How has WANDA touched your life, your work, your organization, or your community?

Maybe WANDA gave you a seat at the table. Maybe you found community, learned something new, supported a Food Shero, received mentorship, or simply witnessed the impact of what we’re building together.

Share your WANDA story with us. 💌

Send us a story, quote, photo, short video, or a simple message wishing WANDA a happy 10th anniversary through our anniversary form.

Your story may be featured in WANDA’s anniversary storytelling, social media, newsletter, website, events, or future impact reports.

🌱 10 years of nourishment. 10 years of community. 10 years of impact.

Help us tell the story of how we got here — together.

The countdown to Give 8/28 begins. 🌱

And this year, we’re thinking about one question:

What are we planting now that our daughters will harvest later?

For generations, Black philanthropy has looked like more than writing a check.

It looked like passing the collection plate. Feeding somebody else’s child. Sharing seeds and recipes. Mentoring a young woman. Making a plate for the neighbor. Giving our time, talent, treasure—and trust—so the next generation could have more than we did.

We have always been gardeners of community.

Ten years ago, WANDA started with a seed: the belief that women and girls of African descent should not simply be served by our food, nutrition, agriculture, and health systems.

We should be leading them.

Because our village invested, WANDA has been able to grow Food Sheroes—from Little WANDA to Mama WANDA, Auntie WANDA, and Nana WANDA—while investing in scholars, nourishing mothers and families, gathering women around Sisterhood Supper tables, developing leaders, and advocating for communities to have a greater voice in the food systems shaping their lives.

But a garden cannot live on yesterday’s rain.

On August 28, the National Day of Black Giving, we’re asking our village to help plant what comes next.

More girls who see themselves as scientists, farmers, nutritionists, storytellers, technologists, and leaders.

More mothers with culturally grounded tools to nourish themselves and their babies.

More Food Sheroes with the resources to research, design, heal, own, and transform the systems that shape our health.

That is the harvest we are working toward.

🌱 Plant a seed.
🌿 Nourish a woman or girl.
🌻 Grow a Food Shero.

What will you help us grow?
