Baobab Fare

Mamba Hamissi and his wife Nadia are refugees from Burundi who found safety and opportunity in the United States. They co-own Baobab Fare, a restaurant in Detroit that introduces East African cuisine to the community. Despite facing challenges, they have shown resilience, generosity, and a commitment to preparing their children for the future. Their journey demonstrates the positive impact of immigrants and the power of unity in the face of adversity, along with hope to those who seek refuge.
