In this episode, we are joined by internationally acclaimed Chef Pierre Thiam, the founder of Yolele Foods (https://www.yolele.com/) as we explore the dynamics of food within African culture. Chef Pierre is well-known for his steadfast promotion of African food across the globe and he shares his journey as an African chef showcasing African cultural recipes, successes, challenges, and how he was able to build a reputable brand. He also discusses the importance of showcasing African food to the world rather than hiding it and deeming it inferior to other cultural cuisines. Listen in as Chef Pierre provides critical insights and strategies that African agri-food entrepreneurs can apply not just to scale their businesses, but also to contribute to the global promotion of the African food culture.
