## Resource

In this episode of The Battle for African Culture, host Million Belay sits down with Chef Sekamotho Mirriam Moteane from Lesotho to explore food as memory, identity, and resistance. From childhood lessons in her mother’s kitchen to documenting disappearing Basotho recipes, Mariam reflects on sorghum, traditional grains, and the cultural knowledge passed down through elders, women, and community rituals. She shares a powerful story of a “wind whisperer,” challenges the dominance of Western food systems, and reminds us that reclaiming food sovereignty begins with valuing our own cuisine. #BattleForAfricanAgriculture #MyFoodIsAfrican #Agroecology #SeedSovereignty #FoodSovereignty
