Seleman secured a degree in Human Resources, a decision heavily influenced by her parents' belief in its stability and security. However, deep down, Seleman always knew that her true passion lay elsewhere. She is determined to bet on herself and pursue her dream of owning a restaurant, a vision that lights a fire within her.

Seleman is ready to take the leap into the culinary world. Her journey is set to be filled with both obstacles and triumphs as she transforms her dream into a tangible reality. As she navigates the complexities of the restaurant industry, viewers are invited to join her on this inspiring quest, witnessing her resilience and passion for food and hospitality come to life.

Introducing...Seleman

Seleman is a young passionate chef, and dreamer from Tanzania whose journey is rooted in resilience and a deep desire to help others. Growing up in a family that faced financial hardships, she witnessed her father sell their only car to pay for her sister’s university fees. Her parents worked tirelessly, and Seleman did too—walking miles to sell snacks and later selling food in the streets while attending university.

While studying Human Resources Management, she used her cooking skills—learned from her parents, YouTube, and Instagram—to earn a living. Despite her parents’ initial resistance to her culinary dreams, Seleman followed her passion. She ran a small, mobile food stall during college, called a mamaatilie, to serve meals in various areas. Through determination and hustle, she completed her degree in 2024.

Seleman always said that because no one was there to help her when she needed it, she would become someone who helps others. Being part of MWIMPP allowed her to do just that. It supported her family, helped cover her sister’s school fees, and brought joy to her parents. Most importantly, it made Seleman believe that her lifelong dream of owning a restaurant is truly possible.

Now a chef with a clear vision, Seleman is more driven than ever to bring her dream of owning a restaurant to life—and to keep giving back to the community that made her who she is.
