Meet My Mama
At Meet My Mama, our mission is to reveal the culinary talents of women from all types of migration to discover the most authentic homemade cuisines of the world, prepared with love by the best chefs: our Mamas.
All this through two offers:
- Mama’s Catering, a catering platform that re-enchants corporate events by offering unique experiences in the form of real culinary journeys. In just one year, we have already taken the taste buds of several hundred companies (Google, Danone, Carrefour, Accenture, Grand Paris, etc.) on a journey by offering homemade specialities from all continents.
- Mama’s Academy – the first structure dedicated to the empowerment of migrant women – which empowers Mamas to realise their dreams by becoming chefs, entrepreneurs and independent. In one year, nearly 50 Mamas have already followed our training courses and revealed their talents to the world.

A few key figures
A word
from the founder
It all started at Dauphine, and I was really lucky to be supported right from the beginning by the Incubator, via the student programme. Then one thing led to another, and we are now in a very exciting acceleration phase.
Our vision? To become the reference for world cuisine in France and throughout Europe by reinventing the catering business while continuing to launch new services and making our Mamas stars of world cuisine!
Loubna Ksibi, co-founder of Meet My Mama
A little bit
of history
It all started with a startup Weekend at Dauphine in early 2017: Loubna Ksibi, a Dauphine student in the innovation and digital networks master’s programme, and Donia Amara, a graduate of Science Po Paris, “pitch” an idea for a value-added catering service where the cooking would be done by women who are refugees or have emigrated.
The concept was born, Meet My Mama was created. A meeting a few months later with Youssef, who had launched a similar concept via Ticket For Change, enabled the three entrepreneurs to join forces to develop Meet My Mama.
Why can a project in the popular kitchen sector be ambitious and succeed?
Because the DNA is strong and impactful: a project that brings people together around the encounter.
The encounter changes EVERYTHING. It opens you up, it animates you, it transforms you. It is the magic moment of a day, a night, a life. The encounter inspires you. It follows you in your memories. It is full of details. It is anchored in a setting. It takes you out of the present, into the past or into the future.
With Meet my Mama, the encounter is everything. Always spicy. She is smiling. She tells you homemade secrets. She surprises you. She makes you laugh. She moves you. She inspires you. She impresses you. With us, the encounter is a journey. It is an inspiring journey around a world cuisine. It is prepared with love. It is told with passion. It is savoured with pleasure.
With our concept, the meeting is with a Mama. And that changes EVERYTHING.
After the support of the Paris-Dauphine Incubator that launched us, other structures took over: we are now supported by The Family and hosted at Station F (and sometimes at La Ruche and Work Inn).
