“Detroit welcomed us as refugees. That is important because it became our home. A place that welcomed us with open arms and because of that we have the responsibility to encourage enrichment of the city, through immigration from international countries. We also share our stories and many others through our food, and through our community space. It’s where conversations and understanding intersect.”
– Hamissi Mamba, Co-Owner

Baobab Fare & Waka
Soko is an East African Market that shares and uplifts East African culture. There’s a stigma to the perception of African culture, and our market will showcase artists and products through creative and beautiful designs that represent our people. We want to introduce our home to our culture. And because people are asking for more, Baobab Fare is making more East African products!
Affordability and accessibility are found in street food. Baobab Fare is bringing delicious short limited menus of East African street food through Waka. Waka is a food truck, catering service, and togo spot that serves the flavors of Baobab Fare in an accessible way. Through a more curated menu larger groups will be able to enjoy a variety of changing dishes that are commonly served on the streets of East Africa, while highlighting the local fare found in and around Detroit.
