It is Elizabeth Nyamayaro’s childhood experience of growing up in an impoverished village in Zimbabwe that serves as a guiding star to her today – one she describes in her 2021 book, I Am a Girl from Africa.
“I was raised by my gogo, my grandmother, in a small agro-community,” Nyamayaro says. “We grew our crops together, we harvested together. There was abundance because the food was shared by everyone.”
