I , Alisa is a native of North Omaha and continues to reside in the community. My roots are associated with this community including local churches, pre existing stores and the rich history of 24th Street. I, Alisa have experience in the restuarnt industry began in 2015 with Dunn Deal Cafe, 16th Willit which birthed the start of Ella Belle Cafe. Made great strided in renewing the energy of this area with no fault of my own, the owners decided to sell the building. I recovered with being the first African american women with a Food truck that was stationed over off 16th Martha. When that opportunity ended, I was able to gain meaningful relationships afforded the opportunity to cater for several local businesses; Learning Community of North Omaha, Masonic Hall, Omaha Public Schools and Churches and private home gatherings.
