Osazeme Oh is a British-Nigerian, South-African-bred food interlocutor, who thinks in the language and poetry of food. She is the head chef and owner of Khandja Kalabash a Harlem based boutique culinary firm. Her passion afro-fusion cooking was forged at a very young age. She is dedicated to the preservation, appreciation and proliferation of African culinary practices & cuisines. She hopes to bring some of her quirkiness to the African Culinary Experience by combining traditional and contemporary methods and ingredients to introduce new dimensions of flavour to African cuisine. She believes that food is connected to every essential part of the human experience, and is a candid way of expressing LOVE. In the battle against hunger, homophobia, bigotry and racism, cuisine is her tool of choice! Attending SHE Summit Week would be an excellent opportunity to showcase my business. I will also be able to engage with other women and potentially expand my professional networks. As a Chef, with a very specific niche much of my business is based on referrals and leveraging personal and professional networks as a result I am constantly looking for ways to grow.

DeleteI am a Ugandan-born journalist based in NYC. I am passionate about telling African narratives in our own voices, especially in non-African or Western media.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to be resourceful to other women and share information actively, enthusiastically and responsibly. I learned this habit from other women who continue to help me achieve my goals. I believe that active and deliberate sharing of time, skills and resources defines me as an entrepreneur and professional. Thanks.
Wow amazing work Aroa thanks for sharing we will be in touch soon to share our winners! :)
ReplyDeleteMy name is Rebekah Frimpong and I am a Ghanaian- American. As a filmmaker, mentor, activist, and entrepreneur, the most important thing I like to adhere to is keeping my eye on Africa especially continuing to inspire the youth of the continent today. Having a varied background in science and medicine as well as the arts has allowed me to successfully build relationships that help me educate the youth of Africa today and have helped me continue done a path of fulfilled destiny. I have been able to work on three major campaigns through my production company BGNB Productions. My first project started in Haiti called Vanishing Seeds, then my next project took me to Kenya and Uganda called the MaMa Africa Program, and most recently I have launched a new magazine and project called Young African Visionaries which is the bases of my graduate school thesis. I have made my daily work be focused on global health from an aspect of mind body and soul using a creative edge and art focus to push this platform forward.
