He is also a cook who uses "nigerian food to interrogate colonialism, capitalism and racism," per his website. We first learned about his work when news outlets began reporting on his social projects in New Orleans that charged White people at least 2x more for plates of food as a way of discussing the wealth disparity gap in the city. But before he began cooking for people and using food to passionately advocate around issues relating to race and wealth, there is a story of an inquisitive young boy growing up in Nigeria who would step foot on U.S. soil in Detroit at age 16. This episode shares his journey from Nigeria to the U.S. and all of the joys and struggle that inform the work he is doing today.

Our homegirl for this episode is Niehla Ollie, a Chicago entrepreneur who founded Homegirl’s Hummus.
