Growing up, Honey Mohammed watched her mother, Marian Ahmed, start her own business and persevere with it through three cities and more than a half-dozen locations. Now, having gone to school for business, the 23-year-old shares ownership with her mom and has big dreams for how to improve Mama Sambusa Kitchen. There’s just one problem: their religious beliefs preclude them from taking a loan and they’ve struck out applying for grants. “I studied grant writing,” says Mohammed. “I’ve applied for every single grant from the Seattle Office of Economic Development, SBA, LOL…,” she laughs. “All of them.”
