“I just remember I was walking down the street with a friend and I was like, “I think I am going to sell plantain chips!” and she was like “OK!? Uh, I don’t know what that means but OK!” and I was like, “I don’t know what that means either.” But I got a plane ticket to Uganda and told myself I’d give myself that time to more or less do a viability study and see what came out of it and take it from there!” — Renee Dunn, Founder of Amäzi Foods

- The journey she underwent to find local Ugandan farmers, manufacturers, etc.to help her build Amäzi Foods
- The challenges she faced in creating the perfect plantain chip + how she went about creating the flavors for her plantain chips and jackfuit chews. #delicious
- Her biggest entrepreneurial challenges and lessons learned (pre-COVID-19).
- Her biggest “fake it till you make it” moment of her career (this was hilarious, btw!)
- Challenges and joys around working with the local Ugandan farmers and manufacturers.
