Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Fatma and Agnes dive into the origins of the word Mzungu and what it really means in Tanzanian culture. Is it just a harmless label, or does it carry deeper weight depending on who’s saying it—and where? From childhood memories to real-life reactions, they share personal stories and reflect on how it feels to be called Mzungu in different contexts. Whether you’ve been called it or just wondered about it, this conversation unpacks the layers behind a word that means more than meets the ear. Hosted on Acast.
