“Brick and mortar”

My name is Imana. I am the chef and owner of Hi Felicia. My sweet restaurant is 9 months old. In those 9 months, I have been so so lucky to be open, healthy, and employ my friends while working urgently to try and change the restaurant industry from within. I seek and crave diversity in this industry in quite literally every form. Being a woman in this industry has been extremely challenging, coupled with being brown and young, it’s taken my entire life to get where I am today. I’ve been so grateful with press, and business, and most importantly working with people I love every single day. Although I love opening my home to wonderful people, I am now craving something bigger. Something more “legitimate”, something that can make real waves in fine dining in the bay, and beyond. So I am reaching out to my community with help to get there. This project will likely be over $100,000, and this is my dream. It is my dream to serve you delicious food and wine, while being truly authentic to who I am, and answering to no one. I am reaching out with help, to get to my goal. If you’ve met me, and my team, you know we strive every day to make Hi Felicia a safe and precious space. I have learned and grown so much, and have so much in store for the future. Thank you for hearing me, I love you. Please share and help in any way you can. Best, Imana.
