    Ejiro Agbude, owner of The Esans Kitchen

    Church Potlucks Turned Campus Treasures

    Ejiro Agbude immigrated to Rochester from Delta State, Nigeria in 2016. Her only home away from home was the local community church, which welcomed a huge population of international students studying in Rochester, including a majority of African students. In little to no time, Ejiro was unanimously voted the ‘best cook at the church’ and was handed the responsibility of preparing all the meals for the community’s potluck events.
