Hi, my name is Oricha, and I’m the Founder & Owner of Wisdom Vegan Bakery & Café. Beyond being a business owner, I’m a mom, creative, and humanitarian with a deep love for people and purpose.

I started Wisdom in my small apartment kitchen in 2017. No investors, no mentors, just faith, passion, and a desire to bring something meaningful to my community. I was self-taught, experimenting with vegan recipes while raising my son and learning how to build something from nothing.

What began as a few homemade baked goods soon grew into a movement — a gathering place where people could laugh, dream, and feel at home. With this abrupt close, the Wisdom family needs your support.

This GoFundMe is my effort to make things right, to pay back the incredible team who showed up every day with integrity and heart, to cover outstanding vendor balances, and to help with transition expenses as we move into a new season.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward the people and commitments that helped build this dream.

If we raise beyond our goal, any remaining funds will also help me personally transition through this next chapter, rebuilding my foundation, refocusing my purpose, and planting the seeds for what’s next.

This includes rebuilding Wisdom, this time in a sustainable, digital, and purpose-driven way. ✨
