This is Kwame Onwuachi’s family: He has a French-speaking Creole great-grandmother and Trinidadian grandfather on his mother’s side, and a Jamaican grandmother and an Igbo Nigerian grandfather who used to teach at Howard University on his father’s side — all of whom shaped the Bronx-raised chef’s palate.

You mean like non-Ghanaians like Brown, Kilpatrick, and Ture?

From a Nigerian dad calling his son Kwame. I've never met a Ghanaian Femi, Osazee or Chukwu.

Didn’t this guy open up a fancy black owned spot in DC that got shut down due to covid?

If so the spot was top notch

Only 1 grandpa is Nigerian.

The family is in America now, and in America, people do what they want.

French speaking creole great grandmother? So where exactly is she from?

???
Both of his parents were born in America.

Kwame is a cool name. His pat. grandfather was a Pan Africanist, his maternal grandfather is Trini, so it could either be a tribute to Kwame Nkrumah or Kwame Toure.

Spoiler: Or?

He was born in 1989, so maybe it was cause his folks liked Polka Dots at the time

Heheheheheheh, Unbelievable, right?
