Celebrating Global Cooking Traditions Through Social Enterprise at Our Place

Shiza Shahid is the founder of Our Place, a social enterprise cookware company that celebrates global culinary traditions. Shiza went from being an advocate for girls' and women’s education in her native Pakistan to building the Nobel Laureate Awarded Malala Fund to creating a mission-driven social enterprise at Our Place. There, they’re selling beautifully curated, multi-purpose pieces like the Always Pan which doubles as a steamer, a saucier, a fry pan, and a spoon rest. Think of it as the capsule wardrobe for your kitchen. 

Shiza and I chat about everything from the ancient healing techniques of ayurveda, to why socially-conscious business is the way to make real and sustained change, and why kitchery is not just one of the most fun dishes to say, but to eat, too.
