The accolades keep coming for the Kabob-It family! We are beyond thrilled to announce that our founder, Maisha Muhammad, has been named an honoree of the prestigious Roots and Resilience Award.
This award is a celebration of leaders who don't just grow businesses, but who nourish the soil of the communities they serve. For Maisha, "Resilience" isn't just a word, it’s the story of Kabob-It’s journey from a vision of authentic Mediterranean flavors to a cornerstone of Chicago’s culinary and entrepreneurial landscape.
A Legacy of Giving Back
This recognition comes on the heels of a monumental year. Between being honored by Mayor Brandon Johnson with a community development grant and Maisha’s recent appearance as a guest panelist at the Chicago Bears Headquarters, the message is clear: Kabob-It is about more than just great food.
Maisha has always maintained that our success belongs to the community. This award is a reflection of the late nights, the strategic pivots, and the constant support from neighbors like you who kept us going through every season.
Let’s continue to grow together!
Congratulations, Maisha! We are so proud of your leadership.
