Mount Morris Talks—
and the Neighborhood is Poised to Listen.

March is Women’s History Month—a time specifically set aside to celebrate the achievements and the impact that women have made on the world. We are proud to welcome Leah Abraham and Beatrice Sibblies, two dedicated and highly accomplished women from our own community, as our guests at the March Mount Morris Talks—Thursday, March 4, 6:30 to 8 PM.

Leah Abraham

Leah Abraham

Leah Abraham is the co-owner of Ristorante Settepani, which she opened in Harlem 10 years ago with her husband, Nino Settepani. A native of Ethiopia, Leah has been part of the New York City culinary scene for more than 15 years.  Her multicultural perspective, her graciousness and her entrepreneurial spirit have come together on the corner of Lenox Avenue to give Harlem one of its most popular upscale meeting places.

Settepani has come to embody Leah’s belief in the power of community and the importance of family. In celebration of their 10 year anniversary, Settepani’s new spring menu will emphasize locally grown food and healthier eating.

Beatrice Sibblies
