Show notes

Kinam Konkan Konlan is the founder of African Food Festival Norway (AFFN), the largest celebration of African culture, cuisine and heritage in the Nordics. She is from Ghana and moved  to Norway with her family at the age of 2. She is passionate and  enthusiastic about telling the African food story,  sharing our collective African food heritage and highlighting its place globally. Kinam believes that African food connects to the expression of who we are as africans; the memories and histories we share as individual African countries with various tribes but also as a continent. https://kinam.net/african_festival Support the showInstagram: @myafricanaesthetic  Website: https://www.myafricanaesthetic.com/
