I sit down with Blessing Alasan, the powerhouse owner and operator behind Blessinglicious Nigerian Street Food, located at 133 Manville Rd Unit 20 in Scarborough, for a conversation packed with inspiration, resilience, culture, and real talk.

From working in TV, radio, and film to building a restaurant brand during one of the hardest economic periods in recent history, Blessing breaks down how she turned just $300 and the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic into a growing business serving authentic Nigerian flavors to the community. Yeah… while people were panicking, sis was building. Different mindset.

We also get into the importance of organizations like ByBlacks and initiatives like ByBlacks Restaurant Week, which create critical opportunities for Black-owned businesses to gain visibility, attract new customers, and showcase Black excellence in food, culture, and entrepreneurship.

This interview is about faith, hustle, sacrifice, community support, and what happens when Black entrepreneurs refuse to quit.
