“Most African restaurants in Bordeaux are located in underprivileged neighborhoods. It is my way of showing people that Africans and our businesses also belong in these neighborhoods. Through La Djaf, I want to show people that you can be both a Black woman and an entrepreneur. I have always been inspired by many leading Black women entrepreneurs from different fields, whether it is the movie industry, the fashion, cosmetics, or beauty industries, the sports industry, etc.”

In addition to her restaurant, Delali also sells West African spices and tableware under her brand La Djaf Home and Spices. For more information, visit www.ladjaf.com and follow @delalilogo_pop, @ladjafafrofood, and @ladjafhomeandspices.
