Born in Sierra Leone, Fatima Binta grew up cooking the food of the Fulani people, one of the largest nomadic groups in Africa. She's carried on their traditions by launching a traveling restaurant that's brought her home culture to people around the world.
Fatmata Binta has lived in many places throughout her life, but no matter where she is, food is always her home. Her passion for cooking began when she was just five years old.
"It was overwhelming in a very good way," Binta told CNN."It means everything we've been working towards over the past years, it's finally being celebrated and recognized, and it's only the beginning of so many other things that's going to impact lives." Binta describes her dishes as"bold,""authentic," and featuring"plenty of flavors." She puts a modern twist on traditional recipes she learns while visiting nearby Fulani communities. On one trip, local villagers taught her how to use cow's milk to make Wagashi -- a soft, mild cheese.
"I want to change the narrative of the way people see Fulani ... I want anyone that sits on my mat to leave as an ambassador for the Fulani people," Binta added.
