Rize Up Bakery

Rize Up 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 Azikewee Anderson was overcome with a need to make a difference and reconnect with his New Orleans roots, and hopes to inspire young Black bakers to think outside the traditional box.
