Baci is no stranger to breaking records as she won the maiden edition of the ‘Jollof Faceoff’ competition back in August 2021.

On why she embarked on the latest task, Baci said it is one of her biggest aspirations, adding that it is also an opportunity to tell some positive stories from Africa through the meals that we eat.
