Go Weh Yaza is my late Grandmother’s traditional name and means “a lake, pond or body of pure water”. Mary Analla worked more than 40 years in the food service industry and with the vision of carrying on her legacy, I am honored to pay tribute to her legacy by creating Go Weh Yaza.

Deborah's vision, passion, and dedication to excellence will continue to inspire us as we strive to uphold the values and principles that she instilled in us. We are honored to have had Deborah as our Vice-President & Co-Founder and will always remember her as an inspiring leader and a dear friend.
