About The House of Bah Foundation
Founded in 2020, House of Bah Foundation sprang from the realization that there is a lack of representation for African culinary heritage in the food and beverage industry. Our organization's purpose is to improve the racial and social relationship between local communities within the US by creating forums for education and intercultural exchanges on African culinary heritage to spark meaningful conversations about diversity and build equitable, and sustainable communities
