Mawa McQueen’s ‘Untamable Ambition’

July 17, 2024

Mawa Mcqueen isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The Aspen-based chef, entrepreneur, and author has had a remarkable few years. She opened Mawita in Snowmass Village, added a second location of The Crepe Shack in downtown Aspen, and landed a spot on the MICHELIN Guide Recommended list. She was also the subject of a French documentary that brought her newfound attention to the country where she grew up after leaving her native Ivory Coast as a young girl.
