"African Raised As a Nigerian and African-American, food is a central part of Godwin Ihentuge’s family. Cooking allows Ihentuge to connect with his roots and has been a constant throughout his life. “I really want to see a proper spread of the culture of diaspora,” he says. “I want to eat food that’s indigenous to my culture.”
In keeping with its founder’s African roots, YumVillage sources 15% of its ingredients from Haiti, the Caribbean, and West Africa.

Ihentuge is a part of Detroit’s story — he grew up here, went to school here, and took part in its incubation.
At the end of the day I’m a kid from Detroit, native Detroiter, for the most part, we came here when I was five, ate Gregg’s Pizza with everyone in Livernois. I came up through the Detroit system, WSU, and worked at different restaurants”
YumVillage is committed to giving back to the city, maintaining active partnerships with World Central Kitchen and Brilliant Detroit, and 85% of the ingredients in YumVillage’s food come from the Detroit area.
