Our Place is a modern kitchenware brand, and so much more. Everything they do—from the products they design to the stories they share—is rooted in their mission to make cooking and sharing a meal easier and more joyful. They believe in the transformative power of uplifting the differences in how people cook and eat together, and that sharing our traditions, new and old, will help bring the disparate edges of the world closer together. Shiza Shahid is an entrepreneur, investor, technologist, activist, and world-renowned impact leader. She co-founded Our Place to build a business rooted in representation and positive change in the food world and the world beyond. As an immigrant, Shiza literally found her place in America by cooking for and breaking bread with her new chosen family. Shiza grew up in Pakistan as a vocal advocate for women’s rights and social justice. She co-founded the Malala Fund with Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and built the organization as founding CEO.
“Dinner at Our Place is a reminder of how important gathering over lovingly prepared food can be, as a source of connection and joy. It's a timely invitation to play with new traditions for your people—whoever they may be. Foodies with large friend groups, home cooks who may be a bit lonely, and everyone in between is bound to find inspiration.” — Shelf Awareness
