“Food unites us, breaking down barriers and misconceptions. The World Halal Food Festival celebrates this unity by showcasing the rich diversity of halal cuisine. As Malcolm X said, ‘When people sit down together at the table and break bread, they share more than food, but understanding and respect.’ This festival creates a space for everyone to come together, share a meal, and appreciate our common humanity. My dream is for this event to continue to grow, fostering cultural appreciation and unity year after year.”
