Dr. Tuleka Prah is the creator of My African Food Map, a growing archive of the most popular recipes from around the African continent. She is a videographer, writer and editor based in Berlin, and her interest in society, history and memory ‒ with a focus on Black experiences within these ‒ is always reflected in her work.

Using video and carefully cataloguing the steps each dish takes, Tuleka is developing My African Food Map into the trusted collection of African recipe content that she felt was missing.

When she is not working on the Food Map, Tuleka, through her series, MY AFRICAN FOOD FRIENDS, uses food as a catalyst for connecting and sharing through conversations about Black experiences in Europe.

She believes that the politics, accessibility and marketing around foods from the global Black kitchen needs to shift, so that this rich and dynamic world we are not seeing enough of in our cities and our popular media, can become as internationally familiar as, say, Italian food.
