81. Mini Cho
Mini Cho is Mozambique's first pro surfer. A seed born of East and African tides where the winds of xenophobia pushed to the sun-kissed beaches of northern Mozambique. Surfing found him through wandering nomads, igniting a passion for activism and community. His sights may be set on the Olympics, but his definition of gold is to empower those around him. In the latest podcast episode, our guest delved into his deep relationship with the ocean, explored the vibrant concepts of Afro Surf Culture, shared practical tips on building skills to become a surfer, discussed the burgeoning surfing industry and its growth in Mozambique, and explained why Inhambane holds a special place in the hearts of surfers.
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.
