Produced by the “Born Free” generation, this series takes the initiative to document the experiences of the generation that lived through the liberation of Zimbabwe. Through their personal stories, this series, enriches our (collective) understanding of the times, building a more complete picture of what it felt like to live during this significant period of history.

PART I - CHRISTINA 'KICHI' CHIMA - CHILDHOOD

February 13, 2021 • Rungano Muzondo & Kholisile Dhliwayo produced by afrOURban • Season 1 • Episode 3

In this episode we introduce you to the charismatic Christina “Kichi” Chima. We discuss her childhood experiences as a first generation immigrant and her family's privilege in Harare, which is now known as Mbare township. Kichi animatedly reminisces about the impact and influence of her father (Gracewell), and his foresight. Although he never lived to see it, he undoubtedly prepared her to be a young successful independent woman in a liberated society.
