Rize Up Bakery is a fledgling San Francisco-based black-owned micro-bakery focused on reinventing and rethinking traditional sourdough. Rize Up started as a quarantine project in the Spring of 2020, born in response to the social unrest caused by the murder of George Floyd and the disparate impact of the pandemic on the Black community. Founder Azikiwee Anderson was overcome with a need to make a difference and reconnect with his New Orleans roots, and hopefully inspire young Black bakers to think outside the traditional box. Rize Up wants to change the world one loaf of beautiful and thoughtful bread at a time, and share our love of delicious, thoughtfully baked breads made with natural, organic, sustainable, high-quality ingredients!
