What an unforgettable evening we had at the Restaurant Hoppen Live Podcast Dinner! We are thrilled to share these images from the sold-out event, which offered a unique look into the heart of our mission. The night was anchored by our founder, Jamil D Bah-Traore , who captivated the room with a live, unscripted conversation about his personal journey: from his West African roots to building the House of Bah Foundation here in Omaha. Guests enjoyed a spectacular Afro-Fusion meal while gaining insight into how Chef Djamil’s vision is creating equitable employment through our culinary training programs. Every dish served, and every story shared, showcased the power of food to connect cultures and change lives. Thank you for making this celebration of our work such a success!

Last month at the Flatwater Festival 2025, the House of Bah Foundation was honored to cater the evening fundraiser! We were thrilled by the enthusiastic reception from every community member who attended. It’s truly inspiring to see how your support of the Flatwater Free Press mission simultaneously amplified our own. The delicious food you enjoyed was prepared by graduates and trainees of our Immigrant Culinary Integration Program. Their presence at the festival wasn’t just about catering; it was a real-world showcase of their professional growth. Through our workforce development programs, we equip immigrants, refugees, and BIPOC community members with culturally affirming cuisine education and credentialed culinary training. Seeing our trainees excel in a high-profile setting like the Flatwater Festival is the best demonstration of the program’s success. Thank you for celebrating their talent and supporting a future where culinary tradition is a powerful foundation for equitable employment! #HouseofBahFoundation #WorkforceDevelopment #FlatwaterFestivalRecap #OmahaCommunity #CulinarySuccess #EquitableEmployment
