Mama Musa (two tone) by

Mama Musa spent her childhood in Mozambique, but moved to Malawi and lived there many years where she raised several kids with her husband, including Musa (seen here). Recently, her husband died and she has moved back to Mozambique, her homeland, though she doesn’t speak the national language (Portuguese). She is of the Yao tribe.
