BOAF MEDIA had an opportunity to talk to Ms. Larce Raymann on her response to her induction into the Bank of Africa’s Future (BOAF) – 10K Points of Light (POL) Hall of Fame, an initiative of the 1873 Network that is aimed at raising awareness of the power of building communities as a more efficient and effective bridge to the to solve human and societal problems.

Set out below is the thread with Larce:

[11/19, 8:23 AM] BOAF MEDIA: What would like to say in response to your induction u the BOAF – 10K POL?
[11/19, 8:41 AM] Larce Raymann: Firstly I am honored and shocked and yes I am a POL in my unique way and when one speaks of Africa, the narrative should never be complete if it excludes a grain like me in sand with 1.4 billion grains who collectively define and shape the character and personality of this diverse and promising continent.

An investment in me is an investment in Africa and so, I am grateful for being included in the pilot community of 10K actors who don’t know each other but cannot escape the identity of being Africans.

I believe that Africa belongs to all who live in it and any program that provokes us to appreciate that diversity is strength, you can bank on me being an enthusiastic part of it.

I am excited that my name is included in this bank whose currency are the individual actors like me.

Secondly, the inescapable truth is that we are living in the last days as pointed in 1 Timothy 3:1-5, and as such we could be the luckiest generation of living actors who can leave a legacy for the future to tap from.

The past is gone but in it are memories of the choices and actions of those who came before us and we are, therefore, lucky to build on what is known so that what we choose to do today will guide others on what should be avoided in order to secure an inclusive future.

I believe in the audacity of hope and we have come this far not to give up on what is possible if we imagine a future that is often elusive when tainted by ego and selfishness.

It is common cause that FAITH without WORK is dead.

My message to all Africa’s warriors is never to give up on hope but to remain resolute in the search for a better future that is founded on the rule of law.

Absent the the law, we are all animals and the stronger animals will have their way.

We are created equal and endowed by the creator with unalienable rights that cannot be deprived and divested without undermining the promise inherent in the gifts of nature that are given common to all of us.

The spirit of Ubuntu is ever more important now as we see this world and food security deteriorate.

I would love to educate people on how to live successfully on less, how to eat well and how to improve their personal happiness.

My Kitchen Rules is my start to reach people, and it has been a great education for me.

My personal philosophy is to never stop learning that is exactly what I do.
[11/19, 8:44 AM] BOAF MEDIA: Thanks. Do you think that kitchen rules when shared can help build the Africa you want?
[11/19, 8:47 AM] Larce Raymann: It’s not an over night or a one organization thing, it will take a few.

Yes my Kitchen rules has helped and is helping but it will take more hands and minds to get to where we need to.
[11/19, 8:48 AM] BOAF MEDIA: Why do you think kitchen rules are important in societies that are patriarchal in nature and operation where the kitchen is often regarded as an exclusive address for women?
[11/19, 9:17 AM] Larce Raymann: Well the narrative of kitchens are for women is changing.

Men are in the kitchen too as highlighted on the show with last year’s winners being two men.

My Kitchen Rules is important because it teaches one to be hospitable, think out the box when serving guests and how to use the entire vegetable or meat source so as to not waste.

We need more of that type of education as some people simply don’t know how important food it is to the sustainability of us humans.
[11/19, 9:31 AM] BOAF MEDIA: What do you stand to win from the competition?
[11/19, 10:49 AM] Larce Raymann: The title of being an MKR winner and 1 million Rand.

MY KITCHEN RULES (MKR).

In conclusion, the BOAFERS wish Larce and Jabu good luck and with R1 million in the bank, we believe that it is possible to galvanize 1 million out of 1.4 billion to build a shared understanding on what can be done if we all choose to learn from what a kitchen represents in the affairs of humans and alternatively to imagine a world without kitchens and what would be the reality of life.
