Q&A with Claudine Reid
Founder Elisheva Life On The Go
1. Why do you choose to support African Restaurant Week and Black History Month?
- Supporting African Restaurant Week and Black History Month is deeply meaningful to me and my business, Elisheva Lifeonthego, because these events celebrate culture, heritage, and community. African Restaurant Week highlights the incredible talent and innovation of small business owners in the food and hospitality industries.
What country’s cuisine/culture would you be featuring?
- I am proud to feature Jamaica’s rich culture and cuisine—a country that holds a special place in my heart as I was born and raised there. Jamaica is not just my homeland but also a source of endless inspiration. Its beauty lies in its vibrant traditions, diverse influences, and the incredible warmth of its people. Jamaican cuisine is a flavorful fusion of African, Indigenous, and European culinary traditions. Beyond the food, Jamaica’s culture is a global treasure. It is the birthplace of reggae music, made legendary by Bob Marley, and home to dancehall rhythms that have influenced music worldwide.

4. Is there a particular dish, product, or service you’re excited to showcase during the event?

These pair beautifully with the theme of travel and exploration, as I’ll also be sharing travel advisory services, including personalized trip planning, retreats, and exciting travel opportunities.
