“Afro-Futuristic Dinner & Africa’s Awakening Discussions” with chef Njathi Kabui
Join us for a powerful evening of food, culture, music, conversations and networking at Reservoir Church in Cambridge, MA. Hosted by Foodies Without Borders, this special pop-up dinner and lecture series celebrates the richness of African cuisine and the visionary leadership shaping the future of African foods, peoples’ and their cultures. Africa is awake! Africa is the future!
Our featured guest is Chef Njathi Kabui – a globally recognized chef, anthropologist (HBCU PhD), urban farmer, author and outspoken food justice advocate. Born in rural Kenya to a coffee farmer mother and a restauranteur father – both deeply involved in Kenya’s independence movement – Chef Kabui brings a unique perspective rooted in heritage, activism, and a passion for sustainability. Now based in North Carolina, he speaks around the world on how food can transform lives and communities.
Joining him is host Chef Tony Njigua, founder of Foodies Without Borders, a Boston-based non profit empowering underserved youth in the U.S. and Kenya through curated travel, culinary training and sustainable farming initiatives.
Enjoy a thoughtfully crafted, health-forward Kenyan menu while engaging in dialogue about food sovereignty, cultural identity and Africa’s global reawakening. Discover how you can be part of meaningful projects across Africa, the Caribbean and beyond.
Live acoustic music by our dear friend and supporter, Sarah Mendelsohn, will set the mood for this unforgettable gathering. Tell a friend, bring a friend. Welcome! Karibu!
