Ama Shambulia is bringing people together and changing lives one healthy dish at a time.
She is the Healthy Living Programs director of Urban Ministry Inc., a community-based nonprofit in Birmingham. A graduate of Culinard who worked with Chris Dupont at Café Dupont, Shambulia is a certified health coach and an educator and advocate for wellness who combines her passions for healthy, natural foods; organic gardening; and social enterprise through West End Community Café (WE Café) and West End Community Gardens (WE Gardens).
