Tricklebee Cafe empowers community through teamwork and support

In Milwaukee, Tricklebee Café is making a difference in the community through food and empowerment. This all-women-led, pay-what-you-can vegan café is run by four talented chefs who are not only serving meals but also supporting each other and their neighborhood. During Women's History Month, the café highlights the importance of women uplifting one another. Owner Christie Melby-Gibbons emphasizes that anyone can afford a meal, whether they have coins or can pay it forward. In a time of rising food insecurity, the café offers healthy food options in a food desert. The chefs work together seamlessly in the kitchen, showcasing their teamwork and shared passion for cooking. Buddah Fly, one of the chefs, describes their environment as harmonious, where everyone understands and supports each other. Zakia Courtney notes the significance of their sisterhood in creating a positive atmosphere. Tricklebee Café is more than just a business; it represents a movement. The women believe that by working together, they demonstrate what is possible in their community. Each chef brings her unique skills to contribute to delicious and nourishing meals. As they build strong bonds with each other, the chefs feel they've created a sisterhood that helps them grow both personally and professionally. Tricklebee Café showcases the power of collaboration and compassion in transforming lives and communities. It opens Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
