In the fourth episode of My Refugee Story, we chat with Obada Otabashi, a Syrian entrepreneur and founder of ‘We Exist’.  

Obada arrived in Belgium in 2015 after a long and difficult journey. Explore how his mother’s timeless recipes coupled with his entrepreneurial streak led him to create ‘We Exist’ – a unique restaurant, catering company and hub for newcomers seeking employment opportunities.
