Spirit Archivist, Artist, Storyteller, and Consultant.
SWEETWATER was born from nostalgia and ancestral libation rituals.
This is SWEETWATER
SWEETWATER, a sacred journey through time and flavor, is the manifestation of Sadé Stamps' profound connection with libation rituals. Guided by a passion for crafting spiritual experiences, Sadé's vision takes inspiration from the tapestry of everyday life and the essence of ancestral wisdom. She weaves her libation rituals with a deep soulful reverence for the past through brewing and spirit making.
"I draw inspiration from the spirits, practices, and brewing methods of my ancestors and the essence of their daily existence," Sadé reflects as she delves into the mystic core of manifesting these ancient ideas. Sugar cane and agavé spirits often find their place in her creations, echoing the rich tapestry of the Black diaspora's culinary heritage. Nostalgia envelops her creations, as she seeks to recapture the tastes of her childhood. "What does a spirit imbued with the memories of Saturday morning taste like?" she asks in her practice.
With SweetWater, Sadé aspires to merge the realms of storytelling and libation, crafting narratives encapsulated within a glass. In a world where stories are sometimes our only true companions, she masterfully concocts elixirs that serve as remedies for the soul, fostering a connection with anyone who seeks solace.
