About

Hi, I’m Meymuna Hussein- Cattan.

As a daughter of refugees, and as a woman of color, I founded two award-winning organizations, The Tiyya Foundation nonprofit and Flavors From Afar social enterprise restaurant, that later taught me that my unique story and journey do not disrupt, but rather add value to all settings. As a full-time mother and wife, my commitment to the refugee community informs my decisions to have a household built on the values of social-justice, arts, and the celebration of cultures.

Prior to my accolades, I was searching for the right mentorship and guidance to help actualize my dreams.  Through my experience of trial and error, I now offer consulting services to entry-level Directors and start-up Entrepreneurs who might be facing the same hurdles that I once had.  Challenges can vary from delegating tasks to acquiring sustainable funding.  My projects are flexible for smaller solo-entrepreneurs to larger establishments that are seeking to retain a loyal and diverse workforce.

Let’s create together!
