Taco truck owner, Akeelah, grew up on the taco truck culture of southern California, which explains why she was eventually inspired later in life to open and run one of New York’s finest and black-owned food trucks: The Kinky Taco truck. Akeelah’s Louisiana roots on her father’s side in combination with her Texan roots on her mother’s side influenced her unique fusion of cajun New Yorkers have grown to love. Thanks to Akeelah and her partner Mikell, the Kinky Taco food truck has been championing NYC food trucks.
