I’m from Afghanistan.  I have been in the United States since December 2021.  Life is busy between being a wife and mother of five amazing children.  Since moving to America, I found I really appreciate EVERYTHING that is available here.  I really am so grateful for the welcome I received when I came here not even knowing how to speak English. I enjoy sharing my Afghan culture and food with my new friends.

I’m from Iraq.  I have been in the United States for a while.  I love baking and cooking to share my culture with all my new friends.  People here have been so welcoming.  I am so grateful. 

I’m from Sudan.  I’ve been in the United States for seven years.  I love it here! People are so polite and helpful.  I love America.  I love that it’s safe here for me and my family. Where we came from is very dangerous.  I have battled breast cancer for three years since being in the States.  I am so grateful to have the medical doctors and team here to help me in my journey to recovery.  My whole medical team is American– so kind & helpful.  It is a blessing. Never in my life have I seen such kind treatment toward humanity.   I’m excited to share my food and culture with you!

I came to the United States nine years ago from Iraq.  My son was born here.  He starts kindergarten next year and I am excited for him!  My daughter graduates this year and will go to college to be a pharmaceutical technician.  I LOVE being in the kitchen with my daughter.  We’re always together and we love making the food.  It brings me much joy &  pleasure to share my food, creations, and culture with you!

I am from Eritrea.  I have only been in the United States for three months.  I didn’t know what to expect when I got here – and we’re still overwhelmed with everything we are learning.  It’s a nice place with nice people  that are so helpful.  We came from an very dangerous situation in our country and spent twelve years in Israel.  Again we needed to move for safety and we’re grateful to be here, especially for my two children– aged 9 & 6. You have to try my injera bread with the vegetarian sauce!
