| Nazma |
Her name is Nazma Akter Khaton. Moved in United States
with her husband as an immigrant about 10years ago. She had her dream, wish and
hope like any other immigrants of living a better life in one of the best
nation in the world. First she moved in with some of her relatives in California,
did not work out well. Then she moved to Texas with some other family friends. There
she worked in a dry cleaner place for 3 years. However, the struggle did not
seemed to get any better for a women, who do not speak or have good understand
of English with a sick husband. For some extra help finally she comes to
Topeka, KS to her nephew. They were very nice to them, backed them up in every
situation and helped her finding a job at Church’s
Chicken as a cook. She worked here ever since. First she had trouble
picking it up, later she got trained and now she is one of the best cook of
this place. She is a full time employee, works six days week. If you are form
Topeka and had chicken from Church’s Chicken located at 10th street,
most chance is she made it. She is cooking here for over 4 years now.

She like
what she does, she is responsible for preparing all the chicken both spicy and
regular recipe, chicken tenders, livers, gizzards, and wings from scratch. She also
do a lot of cleaning in here, but changing trash is her least favorite task. The
crew is amazing she works with, they are very chill, even the person who owns
the place. It is her best job ever and she’s glad to have it. Her goal is to
cook small batches more often, so the guests get served with hot and fresh
chicken. Nazma is very picky about holding time and temperature, which she is
supposed to be according to the food health code. Sometime it’s hard to keep up
when the business gets really busy, but she improvise and manage to make it
work of her best.
It makes her really happy when someone compliments her, as
she doing a great job. It encourages her to keep up the good work or even
better if possible. Another thing I learned about this lady is, since she
started working here she never missed a day at work so far. She cares about her
job and works hard for it. It was kind of a emotional moment when she said how
much she miss Bangladesh.
She puts a lot of effort to provide fried chicken for
hundreds of people who goes there every day. She is an amazing person to talk
with. In your next visit at Church’s
Chicken don't forget to say Hello to Nazma.
