Episode Eleven | Grace Ouma-Cabezas
"Grace is just your typical Kenyan-Jersey girl—with a love of $2 pizza slices and East African curry that runs equally deep. Growing up in a diverse community in New Jersey, Grace developed an appreciation for the cultural connections in food while going shopping with her mom to recreate dishes from home (which often included an Indian grocer, Korean market, Latin produce stand, and Halal butcher, just to name a few). After finishing college in New Jersey, Grace made her lifelong love of NYC official and moved there in 2007. Before making her way to Food52, she spent a little over a decade in marketing roles across e-commerce, lifestyle media, and on-demand services. On a typical Sunday, you can find her brunching and people-watching in her beloved Harlem neighborhood." -Food52
