Show notes

In this episode, #47, we venture to the western Cape province of South Africa to Stellenbosch winelands. Host Yndia is drinking wine and chatting with M’Hudi Wines’ vintners, co-owner Baba Diale Rangaka and his daughter in-law and business manager Rae-leigh Rangaka. Similar to the famous African tale of M’hudi, the name for this first fully Black-owned wine farm and brand symbolizes strength, courage, the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams against impossible odds – and the celebration of a hard-earned triumph. Listen and learn about the history of M’Hudi, the Rangakas’ journey to procure a 43-hectare wine and fruit farm in Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2003, and their participation into a lifestyle, culture and economic sector in which few Blacks have had the opportunity to partake in previously.
