His approach to solving this riddle has been to trace back to his ancestors and learn from how they, as immigrants from India, first settled into Tanganyika almost 100 years ago.

Inspired by the vibrant culture of Africa and the unique skillsets of its people, Mohamedhussein and SHONA aim to celebrate the continent’s creativity by creating meaningful accessories that give a sense of identity to those who use them and a source of income for all those involved in it’s making This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
