“Bread Saved My Life”: Jax Bread Co. Owner Nana Bonsu-Hammond


Listen Later

The New Testament Book of Matthew says, “Man does not live by bread alone.” But ask Nana Bonsu-Hammond, and she’ll tell you that without bread, she wouldn’t be the independent businesswoman she is today.


Nana is the owner and executive chef of Jax Bread Co. It’s a bakery and cafe on Jacksonville’s Southside.


Nana recently chatted with Dalia about the bread here in the United States versus overseas and why she says bread saved her life.
