The YB2C Live! Podcast

This episode's special guest is Ms. Fatima Omar Khamissa from Toronto, Ontario, Canada!

Pam first met Fatima last spring via a mutual friend in the UAE (United Arab Emirates), and was a guest on her radio show last summer.

Fatima is a shining example of a woman entrepreneur who started her adult life one way, and due to later circumstances, totally remade herself and her life to the best it could be through hard work and dedication to her family.

Fatima's story is so interesting, inspiring, and motivating.

Her family moved from South Africa to escape apartheid in the 1980s. She married into a wealthy and influential family, only to escape years later as the marriage became abusive. Fatima just left with her five children, including one child with cerebral palsy, and had to start her life all over again.

Fatima found herself on welfare, but with the goal of making a new life for herself and her children AND helping, counseling, and teaching other women, especially Muslim women, how they too can be spiritually, personally, and professionally fulfilled while still staying true to their faith and culture.

Today, Fatima is an internationally renowned and award-winning speaker and entrepreneur, and a best-selling author.

Fatima's story is an inspiring one that demonstrates how even through the darkest of circumstances, one can always rise from the ashes!

Today's podcast is the fourth in this year's February Black History Month "Legacy Entrepreneur" Series. The guests for the previous three podcasts in this series featured descendants ad relatives of Black entrepreneurs of the 20th century. This week, our focus is on a Black entrepreneurial family that is building a legacy for the next generation: the Thomas Family, owners of Sweet Potato Sensations, a restaurant, store, and community center located in northwest Detroit.

The Christ-centered mission of Sweet Potato Sensations, according to Jeffery and Cassandra Thomas, is to continue the legacy of Dr. George Washington Carver, the son of Black American slaves who became an internationally renowned scientist and chemist, and discovered hundreds of uses for the sweet potato in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas started their business in their home thirty years ago, using family recipes and working at pop-ups and fairs before opening their restaurant selling their famous Sweet Potato Cookies. Today, Sweet Potato Sensations products are available in several retail locations, and offer dozens of sweet potato items, such as pies (of course), cakes, cookies, ice cream, and waffles. During the week, soup, sandwiches, and chicken and waffles are available, and on the weekend, the full savory menu awaits patrons.

This exciting, inspirational, and informative interview with the Thomases includes the story of the successes and challenges of growing their business over three decades and how they are working with their two adult daughters to build a business and a brand that will last for many decades to come.
