BALTIMORE — What started as cooking for friends in a college dorm room has blossomed into a thriving food truck business for Jemimah Yakubu, who goes by Chef Mimah.

While studying to become an attorney in college, Yakubu discovered a passion for cooking after making food for friends at school. That discovery led her to put law school on hold and launch Mimah's African Cuisine in 2023.

"I put law school on hold because this was really my dream, I wanted to kind of start the business and get it to where I want it to be and then head back into law school and eventually become an attorney," Yakubu said.
