Hospitality thrives when experience fuels the next generation.
While working as a waiter, Nah-Dja would line up with his colleagues to have his fingernails, clothing and breath checked by his manager, and if something wasn’t right, they would be hit in the head with a stick. “This is ONE way of mentorship.” Laughs out Nah-Dja.
