Backstory

The first time Rashida saw a life saved by her actions, she knew she had found her purpose. She had hesitated, doubting her abilities, but the captain's firm nod pushed her forward. That day, she chose to embrace her fear and run towards the flames, not away. Her secret? She carries a small, worn photograph of her late grandmother, who always told her, 'Cook with your heart, Rashida.' This mantra guides her both in the kitchen and on the front lines, reminding her to pour her soul into everything she does.
