A few weeks ago @red.thepeople hosted a dumpling workshop at the Atelier. A workshop that wasn’t just about feeding people delicious food but also about evoking memories of family of home, whilst connecting with strangers who become friends. There is also something so deeply cathartic and healing about doing a repetitive task like folding dumplings, something almost therapeutic - so I think safe to say that people’s soul was just as nourished as their bodies. by @atelier_code_noir

Life has been an absolute 🌪️ I guess as it always promised to be in this year of the fire horse! After many years of trying but not managing, because we’re both busy ladies, I finally got the chance to work with @ambrevandeberg from @drinkelala talking about whirlwinds, this woman knows how to get things DONE. I hosted a wonderful night for their Community dinners with some exceptional female entrepreneurs. It was a night of good food, good drinks and incredible company. I made:Popadums with sweet potato cavier.Jamaican peppered shrimp dumplings in a bisque with Chandon Beni oilPikapeppa skewers accompanied by pineapple and cucumber chow, & finally rice and peasAll finished off with Tres Lecche with orange zest and finished off with some of that fresh from the Island of spice (Grenada) cinnamon. by @atelier_code_noir

Yesterday I hosted a beautiful Paint & Heal Ancestral Waters Edition at @atelier_code_noir Noir. The evening began with a lovely diner by Code noir , followed by a workshop surrounded by my exhibition “The weight of gentle things” drawing inspiration from its theme.There were beautiful conversations, shared insights, moments of vulnerability, even a few tears and above all, genuine connection.As I sat there, taking it all in, I felt so grateful for this journey that continues to bring such amazing souls into my life. It’s special to see how my art and the workshops I host with @peindreenkura come together and strengthen each other. by @atelier_code_noir

I was talking with my friend @willagreen about visibility recently — how showing up, consistently and boldly, creates real momentum.She’s living it. Watching her campaign for GroenLinks Amsterdam is seriously inspiring.So when she mentioned visibility… I had to laugh. Because how’s THIS for visible 👀Seeing yourself on a very large poster in Amsterdam is something I won’t forget anytime soon.I’m honoured to be one of 160 Role Models for the @equals.nl campaign, celebrating women across the Netherlands defining success on their own terms.Visibility matters to me every day. It’s why I created Atelier Code Noir — a space for diasporic chefs and artists to share their food, stories, and culture. A place where representation isn’t a bonus — it’s the point.Because visibility isn’t just being seen. It’s building spaces where people can finally feel: this was made for me.When you can see the path, you can walk it. And sometimes, you build it.Thank you Equals for the honour — and Willa for the reminder that showing up is everything 🙌📸 @carlywollaert ❤️❤️#RoleModels #Equals #Visibility #AtelierCodeNoir #Representation Amsterdam WomenInLeadership by @atelier_code_noir
