Personal Details

Bio

In 2012, Yana had here very own 'Eat, Pray, Love' moment. Recovering from a rare type of cancer in her late 20s, she decided to change her life radically. All thanks to baking. She quit her job in journalism and started travelling to places where it is dangerous to be a woman, empowering survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). She founded Tamu Bakery ('tamu' is Swahili for “gentle and sweet”) and over the past ten years she has baked and helped women in more than 15 countries. Now based in the Middle East, she divides her time between lecturing and training, writing, and empowering women.
