When I met Victória in the aisles of São Paulo Market in Luanda, I instantly felt a warm connection. The kind of connection you feel when you meet a familiar face, a criola sister. She was kind enough to share her story and teach me about the Cape Verdean descendants living in Angola. Get to know Victória, our Criola Da Semana
