The BRDGE empowers people from ethnic backgrounds to become successful entrepreneurs in the food industry. By providing essential support with marketing, logistics, accounting, and more, The BRDGE helps chefs turn their passion for cooking into thriving businesses.

But it doesn’t stop there—our platform also helps sell the food our chefs create, bringing their unique, authentic dishes directly to customers at affordable prices.

Our Founders Story

DANIELLA JASPER-OKUMAGBA

Born from a simple yearning for a taste of home, The BRDGE started with our founder's personal journey. Moving from Nigeria to Canada at nine, she missed the comforting flavors of her mother’s traditional cooking — a piece of home she hadn't learned to recreate. This longing sparked The BRDGE: a heartfelt mission to connect everyone with the authentic tastes of their heritage.

"Our platform is more than a catering company; it's a celebration of culture, a rekindling of memories, and a community where every bite tells a story. Join us in savoring these cherished flavors and be part of a movement that turns nostalgic dishes into shared experiences."
