Future Voices EP4: Nihal Elwan & How Tayybeh Welcomed Syrian Refugees with Food and Community
Tayybeh, a social purpose-driven commissary kitchen based in Vancouver, BC began in 2016 at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis. It started by hiring Syrian women to cook their traditional dishes, and continues to provide employment opportunities for newcomers to Canada. In this episode, Rachel Adams and Nihal Elwan discuss how Tayybeh came to be, the inspiring story of “The Ladies” who bring the love and flavours of Syrian cuisine to Canada; and how they are now giving back to the community by supplying meals to those in need during the pandemic.
Tayybeh's mission is to continue to empower newcomer women and offer opportunities for employment, financial independence and social integration by offering and highlighting their delicious and authentic local food.

Rachel talks to Aaiman Aamir, a Toronto based community builder in the tech field about her new book: Our Stories in STEM.
