Kellita Whisnant, a single mother of four, a Liberian immigrant and the owner of Mama Ti's restaurant in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota prepares food in the restaurant's kitchen. She serves Liberian food, primarily, and attributes recent business losses to a fear of Ebola. This July, she changed the name of the restaurant, which was started by her mother, to Mami Ti's Kitchen and Deli, removing the word "African."
A sign on the door explains how Ebola is spread.
Thousands of people have died in West Africa this year from the largest Ebola outbreak on record.
