If you spelled out this country’s name in Scrabble tiles, the Republic of Mozambique would score you the highest amount of points out of any one word nation. Mozambique is a Portuguese speaking country located in East Africa with world class beaches, beautiful wildlife and incredible tasting chicken. Mozambique is investing in clean energy with large solar farms and new electric cars for the police.
This interview will be the first time I speak with two different friends from the same country. Georgia and Tiago, offer unique perspectives and entertaining conversation. They both shared that many people in Mozambique work hard to provide for their families, and taking time off to protest or demonstrate for peace and less conflict takes away from their ability to provide.
Learning about Mozambique food they shared that it is often spicy, and they explained that the chicken in Mozambique is special, well known to be prepared with love. Marinated 12-24 hours in spices and flavor for the perfect taste. We had a fun conversation regarding KFC and the idea of Chick-Fil-A arriving in Mozambique.
One of the things that stood out the most in my conversation was their awareness of the stereotypical portrayal and generalization that African countries have. Africa as a continent is so vast and each country is so different yet, we often group our thoughts and ideas based on media portrayal.
