Judish Mesiko Kemi Dradi
I am a passionate and creative soul with a passion for creative arts, fashion, events management, and living a purpose-driven life. Based in Australia, I discovered a need for a community hub similar to the thriving street markets found in Africa. This realization inspired me to create the Astral African Market, a place where individuals can come together to share news, food, and joy while empowering the community economically. My vision is to bridge African entrepreneurs with the wider Australian community, creating a communal center for sharing and celebrating African cultures. Through the market, I hope to bring a touch of Africa to Australia, provide a platform for black-owned businesses to thrive, and foster unity and community among Africans living in Australia. The Astral African Market is more than just a market; it symbolizes the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of the African community. I am dedicated to nurturing this market as a vibrant, inclusive, and empowering space for all.
