Veneise George brought real Jamaican flavor to every day canadian meals. 🔥

Meet the founder of @yawdis , the Canadian brand that started with a family-made jerk marinade and a simple belief: busy families shouldn’t have to choose between convenience, better ingredients, and food that actually tastes good.

No artificial colors. No shortcuts. No watered-down flavor.

What began in Veneise’s kitchen has grown into a collection of jerk marinades, pepper jellies, and mustards that has reached more than 100 stores across Ontario.
.
Watch to discover the connection she wants to make next, then tag the retailer, buyer, or food industry partner who needs Yawdi’s on their radar. 

Let’s give authentic Jamaican flavor the shelf space it deserves! 🌶️

Eight brands. Eight founders. Eight dream connections.

Created by VANP Brand Studio in collaboration with Canadian Women in Food at CHFA NOW Toronto.

Building a food business for many women of colour is different, and there are additional barriers that often go unseen by those who don’t experience them firsthand.

On this episode of Monday Morning Manager, we’re joined by Veneise George, Founder of YAWDI’S and National Ambassador for BIPOC Canadian Women In Food, for an important conversation about entrepreneurship, visibility, belonging, and the experiences that continue to shape the journey for women of colour in our industry.

This session is about awareness, listening with curiosity, and it’s about understanding how we can build a stronger ecosystem where more founders have the opportunity to thrive.

We’ll discuss:

✨ The realities many women of colour still face while building businesses
✨ Why awareness starts with curiosity and listening
✨ How allies can help create more opportunities and stronger outcomes
✨ The role community plays in helping founders thrive

Veneise brings both honesty and optimism to this conversation. Her experience building YAWDI’S has taught her that resilience is powerful, and it carries her forward in exploring every opportunity.

This will be an important discussion for founders, allies, and anyone committed to building a healthier future for food entrepreneurship. DM us for a guest link to this session.

Monday, June 8 @ 9:00am EST
📍 Hosted by Cheryl Appleton, Canadian Women In Food
