Beautiful new week,
Trust you had a fruitful weekend ?
This week we feature a wonderful young lady.
Let’s meet you
I am Emmanuella Uuijiatalor. I love cooking, baking, meeting people and listening to music. I am extrinsic in nature. I am working towards building a career in Culinary Art (Chef). Most importantly i love God.
What makes you a proud African?
The richness of our culture. I value our vast natural resources and the strength we exhibit as Africans. In times of difficulties we still find a way to live and survive against all odds.
What is your favorite city in Africa?
Harare, which is the capital of Zimbabwe. I had always wanted to travel to zimbabwe not minding their state of political and economic crisis. I always wanted to visit this beautiful city and their resort centres like The Lion and Cheetah Park, Thetford Game Reserve Harare. I watched a movie some years back that portrayed their culture and it showcased the beauty and richness of Zimbabwean culture.
Who is my African Icon and why?
Hmmm, a difficult choice to make. As a graduate from the school of Human resource, Languages precisely, i fell in love with a few writers. Amongst them is an outstanding writer of our time whose works speaks for her anywhere in the world, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
I admire her smart and flawless work of Literature. I describe her as one who thinks before she writes.
Describe my Africa in 10 years
A more safe, clean and serene environment with our natural resources intact and properly utilized, A place to still call home with a more stable economy
How would you colour Africa and what do the colours represent?
I would colour my Africa Green, White and Yellow.
Green which represents nature, freshness, fertility and growth.
White, is associated with purity, cleanliness, safety and light.
Yellow is associated with joy, happiness and energy.
Which B&G product(s) do you like the most & what makes it/ them unique?
For some amazing reasons I love the Aprons! I am proud of who I am and where I am from and what is associated with my culture. I think it is a great idea to have something from one of our famous materials in Africa “ankara”, with colours and big pocket (i love the pocket area the most). It is different from the conventional aprons we see around. It adds beauty and makes cooking more fun too.
Thank you.
