Founder Alfonso Brooks shares:
"'Taste of AfriKin' is more than just a celebration; it's a pivotal opportunity to redefine the narrative surrounding African culinary heritage and its profound influence on global cuisine. As we continue our 10th-anniversary celebrations, we invite you to join us not just as participants, but as partners in nurturing a more inclusive and culturally rich community. Together, let's honor and elevate the flavors, traditions, and creative expressions that make us KIN. Taste of AfriKin is where food, flavor and family come together. African cuisine is one of the fastest-growing culinary trends in North America, with Google searches for 'jollof rice' and 'Nigerian food near me' up by over 200% since 2020."
