70. Marta Uetela
Marta Uetela is an industrial designer who is a very energetic and positive individual that from a selfless act, started an organisation that is changing the lives of many, one step at a time. She won the second-best green startup in Africa, the number one prize in the 6th edition of the competition SeedStars in Maputo, and the 193rd Commonwealth Point of Light, but those are not even her most significant achievements. Guiding us by connecting the dots, she explains how design, welding, being encouraged by her father and brothers at a young age to get involved in mechanics, and another myriad of unusual events got her in the position she is today.
69. Leia Liquidão
Leia Liquidão is a psychologist. Her caring and engaging personality impacts lives in more ways than just listening. Exuding empathy and genuine concern, she spoke to us about domestic violence, childhood trauma, men with breast cancer, how mental health is perceived in Mozambique, and much more. A tremendous serious conversation that felt super light-hearted.
