Welcome to our wonderful 2024 Dream Cuisines cohort!

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to foster inclusion and empowerment through the art of cooking, storytelling, community-building, and entrepreneurship. So we're thrilled to introduce you to the incredible women joining our 2024 Dream Cuisines program! Join us in welcoming:

  • Chaima Chmale from Morrocco

  • Bushra Elias from Syria

  • Samira Mohammed from Saudi Arabia

  • Zahra Babajanipour from Iran

  • Delia Fuentes from Mexico

These talented individuals bring their unique flavors and stories to our table, enriching our community with their presence. From our first gathering in March, where we shared traditional, flavourful dishes prepared by our participants, to our "Meet the Alumni" event, where our newcomers connected with seasoned mentors, the energy has been incredible. Together, we're not just building businesses; we're nurturing friendships, leadership, and a shared sense of purpose.

We can’t wait to see the magic unfold as these women bring their delicious food, share their cultural heritage, and take their entrepreneurial spirit to new heights. Each one has a tale to tell and skills to share, and we're honoured to be a part of their journey.

So, let's raise our glasses (and forks!) to this inspiring group of women – let's savour the journey ahead together! 🎉
