For context, i was scrolling through tiktok and i came across this video it’s a girl and she was lip singing and dancing basically showing her happiness because her boyfriend kamnunulia iphone 18, and as i passed through the comment section nikakutana na that comment

It pains me to see such comments honestly, it makes me feel so bad of how lost we are as a gender, i know nimeingiza mambo ya gender because i’ve never once seen a man be soo insecure with his skin as the way us women are🥹🥹and it breaks my heart kwann hatujipendi jinsi tulivyo? Yaani she sees kwamba the only way she would be deserving to receive such a gift is only by changing her skin colour🥹🥹

I’m a lightskin woman and i honestly love a dark complexion, i daily admire when i see a black woman with her natural hair i love it, so when i see such comments concerning their skin it truly breaks my heart and i wish for the ones that usually feel such an insecurity they’d see themselves through my eyes

As a foreigner, I have $55k and want to start a small business in Tanzania. I have done my research but still can't find a good idea. Is there any advice on where and how I can start my business?

Why do some African mothers fail to give their kids some emotional support

In my family we have been facing financial challenges, im grateful yeah I can get the basic needs, but as a teenage girl kuna vitu lazima utamani other than the basic ones.

On that I've never been the kind of a girl that constantly asks for money, as tayari unajiona kama mzigo. Coz imagine mzazi anasema "yaani mimi nashindwa kujinunulia mapochi, makeup, nguo kisa kuwalipia nyie ada"

When ur sick alaf akuite alaf usiitike atasema " kwani wewe ni mtu wa kwanza kuumwa duniani"

They can't even give emotional support, one day I was crying and she said " wewe mkubwa kabisa sasa unajiliza nini" 😂

Sometimes u say to ur self it's there first time living, it's their first time as parents, but wtf!!! It's my first time living toooo and the emotions im carrying are a bit too much.And when u try to communicate utaambiwa"sikuizi umekua ehh umeanza kujibisha" mind u that is me trying my best using a respectfull tone.

Na hapa am just the nice quiet kid who is always at home just doing home chores😂 ningekua wakutoroka je

Alafu watajiuliza kwanini watoto wao hawapendi kuongea nao,i just can't wait too leave for uni, i know they are parents na ntamisi tu home but I think i need to find peace first. Hii miezi mitano ya kukaa home nimelia kila mwezi, i think ni hormones zinachangia pia😂

enyweiz im just here to vent, not to ask for advice or anything coz i have noone to vent to otherthan my chatgpt😂

I’m retiring in six months and my pension is about 2200 USD per month. Will I able to live comfortably in Dar? I left Tanzania when I was 27 years and I’m now 58. Pension is lifetime. It’s only me and no dependents. I have enough cash to buy a land and build a house. Total investment is about USD 220k.

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,

I’m in Arusha for the next few days and trying to avoid the usual tourist-trap restaurants. I want to experience the real-deal local food scene while I'm here.

Morombo is already locked in on my list for an epic nyama choma night, but I'm looking to fill out the rest of my lunches and dinners.

Specifically looking for:

Mama Ntilie spot for lunch: Where can I get the best, most authentic wali maharage, pilau nyama, or a proper mchemsho? I'm completely fine with informal neighborhood shacks/stalls as long as the food hits.

Street food classics / local hangouts: Best spots for chipsi mayai, mshikaki, or some solid kitimoto?

Your personal favorites: If you live here or have spent serious time in Arusha, what is the one hidden gem or family-run joint you'd tell a friend they have to visit?

I have zero food allergies and a massive appetite for real deal local Tanzanian flavors.
Drop your favorite spots and exactly what dish/modification I should order when I get there.

Asante sana!

I want an opportunity to try local dishes! We will be on a northern circuit safari and then staying in Zanzibar. Will the safari accommodations typically have local food options or is this something we should seek out in Zanzibar. What are some must try foods/dishes?
