Client Spotlight: Meet Dayo Edwards of DayoSense Catering

February 2, 2021

Enjoy this Q&A between Suzanne and our dear friend & client, Dayo Edwards of DayoSense Catering:

Dayo (pronounced “Dah-yo”), let’s start with your beautiful name. Tell us about its meaning, and what it means to the naming of your business, DayoSense.

My name is Dayo, pronounced "Dah-yo", and it is a Nigerian Name that means Joyous Arrival. No, I am not Nigerian, however, my parents were on a mission to make sure my Sister and I both had names with purposeful meaning.

When I created my company of DayoSense 15 years ago the meaning seemed to take on a life of its own!! All my life my mind has always worked different especially when it comes to logistics. I have so often been able to turn complicated puzzles of information into simplicity so I could teach others. I started saying, "It makes Dayo-Sense" when I’ve solved something in a unique way. But then more and more when we bring food to events I would see the joy on clients and guests faces as we served them. Bringing Joy to the Senses is my ongoing theme as we prepare to serve the public. Even more so, the senses we serve are not just sight/smell/touch, but also the sense of Family/Unity/Peace/Humor.

DayoSense is all of these things!
