My story is rooted in a lifelong immersion in African history, guided by my parents—two dedicated historians for whom culture was not just a profession, but our home's heartbeat. Now living in the United States, I carry their legacy forward as a writer, researcher, and self-proclaimed "universe junkie" obsessed with the vast tapestry of the African experience. This obsession isn't just theoretical. It's the fuel for a variety of creative endeavors. I've channeled it into best-selling cookbooks that bring ancestral flavors to modern tables, magazine columns that explore our rich heritage, and a popular blog that serves as a dynamic hub for anyone eager to connect with African culture and cuisine. My work is driven by a simple belief: to understand who we are, we must explore where we come from. It's a journey I'm honored to share.
