This was in 2014, when Mohammed worked in sales full-time, and Rahim was fresh out of his graduate engineering program. Drawing on their memories of ginjan and the input of their mother, they began to add to the millennia-old tapestry of ginjan-making in West Africa from their apartment in New York City. This August, they opened Ginjan Café in Harlem's historic Corn Exchange Building, where they serve the ginger drink, coffee, and pastries.
Despite the success of ginjan, the brothers knew they wanted to bring more of Africa to the masses—and while ginjan served as the perfect foundation, creating it was the start of making “African food, drink, and aesthetics an integral part of global culture,” Rahim says. “If I start talking about Africans in a sophisticated light, that doesn't work in your brain because we think of Africans as people of hunger, war, and corruption,” Rahim says. “The best way to change minds and hearts are through the things that are not quantifiable. It's the food, drink, culture, and music, and creating a community around that. It’s an opportunity to educate someone.”
