Creole Me Up: Infusing Culture in Every Venture

This latest interview with Elsy Dinvil in Portland, Oregon, is full of laughter and sass. Elsy is a Haitian immigrant, incredible storyteller, and the founder of Creole Me Up, a healthy, allergen-free, Haitian food products company. Elsy is also an author and instructor who loves to teach folks (including myself) about Haitian food and culture. She's a dynamo, expanding her business on her own terms and maintaining a sense of humor during troubling times. Her products, with names like Pickleez For The Wimps (mild) and Whole Lot of Sass (spicy), give you an idea of the humor and personality behind the brand. Listen below to get a sense of how Elsy is coping during COVID, embracing new opportunities, and navigating her complicated identities as a Black woman, immigrant, Haitian, and now a Portlander during this movement for Black lives.

Check out Creole Me Up, her products and cookbooks are available on the site.

Follow Elsy on Instagram for inspiration on how to use Creole Me Up products and great lessons on Haitian food culture.
