Afreekan Sauce (Moto-Moto) – Jungle Heat
Moto-Moto means very hot!
The original flavor of my sauce took 17 years to develop. Many of the ingredients are inspired by the Democratic Republic of Congo, where I was born.
The DR Congo is one of the wealthiest lands in the world, yet it remains one of the poorest countries. Why is this the case? Because everyone wants a piece of the Congo, but nobody wants peace for the Congo.
However, a Free Africa Can! Free from what, you may ask? Free from all forms of oppression, both spiritual and physical. This is not a call for exclusionary measures but rather an intentional intervention to uproot the unlawful practices that have plagued the continent.

Ya-Lona (Moto Tè) – The Calm Sauce
Ya Lona was my sister who passed away from cancer in March 2025 at the age of 45. She was one of the most level-headed people I knew. Her cooking skills were on par with my mom's, and in some cases, she was even better. When I was younger, she took care of me by buying me clothes and shoes whenever I needed them. In many ways, she was like a second mother to me. In my native language, Lingala, "Moto Tè" means "not hot." This reflects my sister's calm and composed nature. She was always forgiving and collected, consistently radiating a sense of peace.

MaMa Bea (Moto) – The Soul of the Fire
My mom's name is Beatrice but she went by Bea, and she’s one of the strongest women I know. She taught me about Jesus, and her cooking inspired me to become a cook one day. After my dad left our family, I was taken in by a Hispanic family, the Luceros, and my Hispanic mom was also named Beatrice and she went by Bea. She was kind and generous with everything she had. Additionally, my cousin’s mom, with whom I grew up, was also named Beatrice and she also went by the name Bea. I don’t believe in coincidence—God had His hand in all of this!
To me, MaMa Bea represents more than just a sauce; it serves as a reminder that God has everything under control. It helps me remember the amazing women who helped me reach where I am today. In Lingala, "moto" means hot. This reflects these women who loved fiercely but also protected what was theirs with equal intensity.
