CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

Meet Dayo Edwards of DayoSense Catering

Enjoy this Q&A between Suzanne and Dayo Edwards of DayoSense Catering:

Dayo, 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!

MOMENT OF INSPIRATION

Inauguration 2021 - Women in Living Color

The beatific array of vibrant colors on display among the women in attendance during the Biden inauguration is a visual feast, and signals an escape from the gray doldrums of 2020. Did they coordinate with one-another, or were they all sympathetic to the idea that they needed to gather together to form a dazzling rainbow of sorts? With one arresting image, we can see a shift towards excitement and hope.

Thank you, Ladies, for helping us look forward to 2021!
