The Mafalala community, a historic neighborhood of Maputo in Mozambique, is calling for more tributes to Noémia de Sousa, considered a central figure in Mozambican literature.
Noémia de Sousa was the first Black woman to publish poetry in Mozambique, leaving a literary legacy of great importance for the country.
This year marks the centenary of the poet's birth, which has motivated young poets to work toward immortalizing her name in the streets, libraries and avenues of Mozambique.
The tribute movement seeks to recognize Noémia de Sousa's contribution to Mozambican culture and literature, keeping her memory alive for future generations.
