Get to know Humza
What would you do with an hour of unexpected free time?
You'd find me playing pickup basketball at my neighborhood court, putting up an incredible stat line of 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, and 100% effort.
If you could master any skill instantly?
Cooking something that requires more than 3 ingredients. I've been trying to expand my culinary capabilities over the years to anything (literally anything) that requires true skill.
What is one thing you can’t live without?
The restaurant Souvla in San Francisco. Once I find a restaurant or order that I really like, I become a creature of habit. In the summer of 2014, I ate lunch at the same Chipotle every day for 2 months.
