TEDx Presents Taco Africana: Try the Food! By Zinyusile Khumbula
“Chef Zi has a passion for blending cultures through food. In his talk, he touches on his upbringing in Africa, where his culinary journey began then speaks on his early American living situations – all through the lens of his cooking and exploring future philanthropic plans. “My dream is to continue building on the work Nelson Mandela started in South Africa and spread it all over the world,” he says. Zinyusile (Zi) Khumbula was born in Zimbabwe and spent some of his childhood in South Africa. He moved to the United States in September 2009 and been a resident of Harlem since 2014 where he has launched New York’s First Pop Up African Taqueria. Zi’s daily inspiration is the mission of sharing Ubuntu (humanity to others) through food and fellowship. With his Tacos, Zi aims to create unique dining experiences that become a comfortable space allowing people from all walks of life to come together and share their backgrounds, humor, cultures, life experiences and good food!”
