just uploaded a vlog from plumtree, zimbabwe 🕊️🤍

it’s my first time attending a wedding in the village, and what made it so interesting is that this was the white wedding — but the traditional marriage process had already happened before this. i loved learning more about the meaning behind customs like lobola, ukangaziwe, ukulaya, and the munyai, and seeing how marriage is not just about one day, but about family, culture, and community too.

it was beautiful, emotional, joyful, and such a special thing to witness.

Open-Fire Inopi (Isijeza) in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🔥 

There’s something about cooking outside on an open fire that I can’t explain properly — the smell, the slow rhythm, the way the smoke clings to the food and makes it taste like home.

In today’s vlog I’m making inopi (isijeza) using ijodo (wild melon) / ithanga (pumpkin) and impuphu (mealie-meal), plus umxhanxa — that sweet, comforting combo of boiled dried maize + chopped yellow melon. After that, I take you with me to the grinding mill to mill millet + maize into the finest powder (because I’m taking it back to England for my sour porridge obsession 😭).

If you love Zimbabwe village life, traditional food, and those quiet “this is real life” moments — you’ll love this one
