Marcus Samuelsson on Ethiopia, Racism & Building a Global Food Empire | One54 Africa Podcast

World-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson joins One54 for a powerful conversation on identity, resilience, and building a global legacy through food. Born in Ethiopia and adopted into a Swedish family, Marcus shares his journey from surviving childhood illness and loss to growing up in Sweden and navigating racism at a young age. He opens up about reconnecting with his Ethiopian roots, meeting his biological father later in life, and the emotional weight of understanding both sides of his story. Marcus breaks down his rise in the culinary world — from training across Europe and Japan to becoming a top chef in New York City. He reflects on betting on himself, overcoming barriers, and the moment he was told a Black chef couldn’t own a restaurant. The episode also dives into African food culture, jollof debates, global travel, and how food connects communities across the diaspora. From Ethiopia to Sweden to New York, this is a story of purpose, perseverance, and redefining what’s possible. #one54 #marcussamuelsson #chef FULL EPISODE:    • Marcus Samuelsson on Ethiopia, Racism & Bu...   Follow One54 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@one54africa?l...
