In today’s episode, I speak with Pierre Tham, a celebrated chef, restaurateur, author, entrepreneur and environmental activist. His TED talk “A forgotten ancient grain that could help Africa prosper” moved me, and I felt his story was so powerful that we had to have him on the show.

Big thanks to our mutual friend Nicole Patrice who put us in touch.

We talk about the following and so much more:

✅ How his journey bringing West African and Senegalese cooking and food started

✅ What the food industry means to him

✅ What people misunderstand about this food

✅ Which African food is under-appreciated in the western world

✅ The experience in bringing Sengalese food to NYC and what the reaction is so far

✅ How Pierre’s journey impacted the people of Africa
