A long way from the block
Ep. 99- "I started this to heal myself"—my conversation with Azikiwee Anderson
Azikiwee Anderson founded his San Francisco bakery, Rize Up, as a way to heal. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, Anderson began channeling his feelings one loaf at a time in his home kitchen; from there he became a household name in the city’s sourdough movement. In this episode, we discuss his humble beginnings, his mother’s profound influence, his logo, and the power of imagery. “Z,” as his staff calls him, freely shares his determination to make a difference. If he can inspire black bakers to think outside the box, Rize Up and the wild yeasts populating his starter will have changed the world!
