“When I went to culinary school, I was still struggling with English. I was the only Black person in the whole school. I went to school in Vermont at the New England Culinary Institute. It was very different for me. You know, here I am, out of my comfort zone again, from Senegal to New York, and here I am around all of these people who don't know who I am. I've got to fit into their lifestyle.” - Serigne Mbaye, Dakar Nola. You can hear more of Serigne’s story on this week’s episode of the podcast.
