BEYOND FOOTBALL: INONGE KALOUSTIAN EMBRACING HER ZAMBIAN ROOTS
Away from the football pitch, Zambian female footballer Inonge Kaloustian is exploring a different side of her identity. Captured in photographs wearing traditional African attire and cooking Zambia’s staple food Nshima on a brazier, Inonge is seen embracing her cultural heritage.
Traditional cooking is a central aspect of Zambian family life and it is beautiful to see Inonge immerse herself in it, bridging the gap between her American upbringing and her Zambian roots.
