Bringing Culture to the Table: Help Launch ReeMae’s Corner & Future Fine Dining Experience!
A Dream Rooted in Tradition & Community
Hi, my name is Ebonie, and I’m on a mission to create something truly special—a food experience that celebrates African American heritage and African cuisine in a way that Fort Lauderdale has never seen before.

ReeMae’s Corner is more than just a food cart—it’s the first step toward my ultimate dream: owning a fine dining restaurant that showcases high-quality African American dishes with a monthly feature of a signature meal from different African countries.

This journey is personal. Named after my mother, Ree, and my grandmother, Mae, ReeMae’s Corner represents their legacy of strength, warmth, and incredible home-cooked meals that brought people together. I want to continue that tradition, creating a space where food becomes a cultural experience—starting small, but thinking big!

Why This Matters & Why I Need Your Support
Food is history, food is love, and food is connection. Yet, when it comes to high-end dining experiences featuring traditional African American and African cuisine, the options are limited. My vision is to change that by:

✔️ Starting with a food cart—bringing delicious, soul-warming meals directly to the community.
✔️ Building toward a restaurant—a fine dining experience where people can explore flavors from across the African diaspora.
✔️ Highlighting a new African dish each month—educating and celebrating the vast richness of African culinary traditions.

With your support, I can purchase the necessary equipment, secure licenses, and launch ReeMae’s Corner, allowing me to generate revenue that will go directly into building the future restaurant.

How You Can Help
Every donation, no matter the size, helps turn this dream into a reality. Your contribution will support:
Food cart purchase & setup
Licensing, permits & business expenses
High-quality ingredients & cooking equipment
Marketing & pop-up events to build our brand

If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign means just as much!

Together, we can create something that not only serves great food but also honors history, uplifts the community, and introduces a fine dining experience like no other.

Thank you for being a part of this journey! ❤️
