When Minneapolis entrepreneur Tashitaa Tufaa came to the United States from his native Ethiopia he quickly embodied the American spirit. He recalls the first day he stepped on American soil:“It was a very beautiful day,” he says. Instead, he started working for the Minneapolis School District and then the city’s housing authority. Along the way, Tufaa maried and he and his wife have five children ranging in age from eight to 21. “I believe in the American dream because I appreciate what this country can provide to people like me,” Tufaa says.
