OUR STORY

SIRENA AMARIKWA

Sirena Adaugo Alise Amarikwa, began her farm journey running through her grandparents cherry orchard in rural area of South West Fresno.

One half of the vision behind Amarikwa Acres is deeply rooted in the agricultural legacy of Lonnie and Lula Manning, Louisianan African American fruit farmers who cultivated their bounty in Fresno, California. From a young age, Sirena Amarikwa, granddaughter of Lonnie and Lula, cherished the inspiring tales of people traveling far and wide to buy her grandparents cherries, plums, oranges, tangerines, pomegranates, apricots, apples, walnuts, and quince. Her early years were spent running barefoot with her sister and sister cousin through orchards and plucking fresh fruit from the trees or getting yelled at for eating plums off the ground.

She heard stories from her grandmother Melvia, with roots in Arkansas of how she use to churn butter and how grits were a delicacy. 

Sirena is also the owner of Evolve.Online a digital cultural creative marketing agency specializing in evolving and elevating athletes, business and personal brands.

She is a driven entrepreneur, retired pro athlete, mother of 3 boys, and wife.
