Why does RUFARI believe in experiences over food

We know that “You and I Eat the Same” and there are countless ways food and cooking connects us to one another. That being said, for AfroTech, we are exploring a different set of connections. The type that connects us beyond just one another, but also to our own pasts, and to the larger world around us.
