Inspired by the rich flavors of Southern, West African and Caribbean cuisines, Diaspora brings Rob’s heritage to life through dishes that tell a story. What started as a pop-up in Chicago has become a platform to share his roots, tackle the challenges of entrepreneurship and prove that food has the power to unite people across cultures and generations.<br><br> Growing up in a family where food was central to daily life, Rob’s path into the culinary world began at an early age. “My grandmother was my first mentor, even though she didn’t know it,” he recalls fondly. As a child, he often helped her prepare meals that fed large groups; this instilled in him a deep appreciation for hospitality and the ability of food to bring people together. His grandmother lived with 21 siblings and cousins, making her well-suited to cooking for small crowds.

Despite years of working in upscale restaurants, including Michelin-starred Vie Restaurant and stages at Band of Bohemia and Blackbird in Chicago, the leap to running his own business was daunting. “You don’t learn business by working the line,” he says. “You learn by doing, making mistakes, and figuring out what works.”</p> <p>One of the toughest lessons has been the art of timing. Organizing pop-up events — where crowds are unpredictable and profit margins are tight — has proved to be a learning curve. “I once did a pop-up during Lollapalooza weekend, and it was a disaster,” he recalls. “The city was buzzing with festival-goers, and my event was completely overlooked.” These setbacks, however, have helped him refine his approach, teaching him to be more strategic and adapt when necessary.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77522" srcset="https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-1024x683.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-300x200.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-768x512.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-1536x1024.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1536w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-2048x1365.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 2048w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-1000x667.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1000w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-8-1280x853.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Credit: Diane Sooyeon Kang </figcaption> </figure> <p>In addition to timing, Rob’s journey has highlighted the importance of collaboration. Managing partnerships and navigating last-minute cancellations has been a source of stress. “It’s tough when you rely on other people’s schedules, and then they cancel,” he says, referring to a series of collaborations that fell through in June. Yet, these challenges have only fueled his determination to push forward and remain flexible<br><br> Technology has provided a new set of opportunities and challenges. Going digital, especially for a small business with limited resources, can be daunting. But for Rob, the shift is not just about convenience — it’s a way to craft a brand and tell a story. “You have to build a community before you even open your doors,” he shares, describing how Diaspora is leveraging social media to connect with people and create buzz before opening a physical space. The goal is to have a loyal following already in place by the time the doors open, so the business doesn’t have to build momentum from scratch. “People want to know when the space is opening, not when we’re trying to convince them to come. That’s the difference,” he says.</p> <figure class="wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" data-id="77532" src="https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-683x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77532" srcset="https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-683x1024.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 683w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-200x300.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 200w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-768x1152.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-1024x1536.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-1365x2048.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1365w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-1000x1500.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1000w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-12-scaled.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1707w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px"> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Credit: Diane Sooyeon Kang </figcaption> </figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" data-id="77543" src="https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-683x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77543" srcset="https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-683x1024.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 683w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-200x300.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 200w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-768x1152.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-1024x1536.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-1365x2048.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1365w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-1000x1500.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1000w,https://blog-mozilla-org.translate.goog/wp-content/blogs.dir/278/files/2024/11/Diaspora_Mozilla_DianeSooyeonKang-14-scaled.jpg?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=lv&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1707w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px"> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Credit: Diane Sooyeon Kang </figcaption> </figure> </figure> <p></p> <p>As he continues to grow Diaspora, the chef remains focused on creating meaningful experiences for his guests.
