We’re in the room!

Shuga x Ice has been selected to sample at Giant Food’s headquarters in front of their category managers and buyers. June 17th. Landover, MD.

We went from losing our shop 6 months ago to rebuilding out of a commercial kitchen, and now we’re walking into one of the biggest grocery chains on the East Coast with our pints.

I can’t wait to share the flavors, the stories behind them, and why African ice cream deserves to be in every freezer aisle in this country. Grab tickets, network and watch us plus other amazing brands share their stories Grocery Run — link in bio.

two years ago, we opened our doors for the first time. a small African-inspired ice cream shop in Silver Spring with a big mouth and even bigger dreams. we’ve been through it since then. lost the shop. found a new kitchen. built wings. but May 17th will always be the day this became real 🥹.

so we’re celebrating the only way we know how: with ice cream!!

🌍 6 flavors. 5 countries. 4 regions. full pints. made in dc.

I’m not even going to be dramatic about it. WE’RE BACKK!! 🍨
If you’ve been here, you already know the story…we lost our shop, I cried about it and then I got to work. six months later? we’ve got a brand new commercial kitchen, a whole FIFA World Cup ice cream collection in the works and a pop-up tour that’s about to hit cities across the US.

swipe to see everything we’ve got coming. and yes, I mean EVERYTHINGGG:
chef collabs, supper clubs, retail, merch, events, bookings...
we went from “what now?!” to “how do we fit all of this on one slide!!”

this is still a small team doing big things. we are still hand-crafted. still manufactured by us in dc, for now. still rooted in the same African-inspired flavors that started this whole thing.
we have wings now. dm us or use the link in our bio for bookings and catering. more announcements this week.

This year stretched us, grew us, and reminded us just how powerful community is. We’re so grateful for each and every one of you who continues to support, encourage and believe in this vision. Happy Thanksgiving, Shugas.

A month ago, I walked into my shop after learning we had 48 hours to close forever.

No warning. No conversation. Just a sudden shutdown that left many of the 10 small businesses, including mine, without a home. It felt like everything stopped at once.

This past month has been my time to reset, rest, and sit with God about what the continuation of this vision is supposed to look like.

This past month has been my time to reset, rest, and sit with God about what the continuation of this vision is supposed to look like. Honestly…it’s the most I’ve slept in a long time LOL. And in that stillness, I was reminded again and again:

The shop closed, but the vision didn’t. God simply widened the assignment.

Today, I’m officially launching the Shuga x Ice Rebuild Fund. We’re rebuilding bigger: DMV production + pickup, nationwide shipping, a pop-up tour, and eventually our forever home.

If you feel led to support, the link is in my bio. Even $5 or a share goes such a long way. Thank you for believing in this next chapter with me.

This one hurts.
Yesterday, we learned that Solaire Social, the food hall that’s been home to Shuga x Ice, will permanently close this Friday, October 24th.

After 7 years of dreaming and 1.5 years of pouring my heart into this space, I’m heartbroken… but not hopeless.

This isn’t the end - just a shift. We’re looking for a new home, new opportunities, and the same community that’s loved us since day one. If you’ve ever loved what we’ve built, please share, tag, and keep believing with us.

Because the story of Shuga x Ice is still being written.

If you know, you know 😌

I didn’t think one scoop could taste like childhood buttttt then we made Tea x Bread.
This one’s for the ones who grew up dipping their bread in sweet milky tea or Milo, who love a little nostalgia with their dessert,
and who know that flavor is more than taste…it’s home.

What started as a partnership became a perfect alignment of story, flavor and culture.

For the opening night of Merry Wives at , we brought the essence of West Africa to life. Four intentional ice cream flavors representing Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, and Senegal, paired with a puff puff waffle station where guests could elevate their scoop into a full sundae experience.

Each flavor told a story - of the people, the places and the characters who played them. From stage to scoop, the night reflected everything we stand for: creativity, connection, and culture served intentionally 💜💚
