There’s no sugar-coating this. So, about a decade ago, this drunk uncle living in the U.S. accidentally did something that totally flipped his nephew Jacob’s world upside down—he ate his pet goat. Now, Jacob, at 10 years old, absolutely adored his goat, Baa. To him, Baa wasn’t just a goat; he was his best buddy, partner in crime, and all-around mischief-maker. But his African-born family didn’t see it that way. To them, goats were livestock, not pets, and they didn’t quite get the whole emotional connection Jacob had with him.
One day, Jacob goes off to school, and his drunk uncle decides it’s time for some goat delicacy, east African style. He slaughters Baa, cooks up a huge pot of stew, and barbecues the rest. Meanwhile, Jacob comes home to the smell of delicious food filling the air. His parents were away, and his uncle, a great chef, casually tells him Baa “ran away.” Naturally, Jacob is heartbroken, spends hours searching for his missing pet, all while his uncle plays along in the search. The search took a whole night in a nearby park. Talk about a bizarre family moment!
Years later, when Jacob was 20 and flipping through old photos, it all clicked—Baa didn’t run away; his uncle had eaten him! The stew, the barbecue… it all made sense. And to make matters worse, Jacob realized he had unknowingly eaten his own pet. Yikes! You can imagine the awkward family dinners and therapy sessions that followed.
Well, well, well.. This story, passed along through the diaspora grapevine, may not be entirely accurate, but it underscores a very real and possible scenario. Here is my wisdom
Wisdom number one
African living in the U.S. often face culture shock due to the significant differences in social norms, food, and daily life between their home countries and their new surroundings. However, change is underway. The pet industry in Africa is experiencing growth, with pet ownership on the rise as incomes increase. This shift reflects broader trends, where cultural perceptions of pets are evolving, and opportunities in the pet industry are expanding both in the U.S. and across Africa.
Wisdom number Two. Stand Back!
Nyama choma is the stuff of legends, so addictive it could make your drunk uncle suddenly start behaving… very irrationally! It’s that mouth-watering goat meat, grilled or roasted over an open flame until it’s smoky, charred, and so juicy that you’ll forget your own name as you devour it. Forget fancy spices—just a pinch of salt is all it takes because this goat meat is pure magic. Served with some irresistible ugali, rice, veggies, or that tangy tomato and onion salad, it’s a flavor explosion that’ll make your taste buds break into a happy dance. Whether you’re at a party, a celebration, or grabbing it from a roadside stall, you’ll be digging in with friends, a cold drink in hand, and that wild grin on your face like, “I’m never letting go of this plate!” It’s so good, you’ll be back for more, and maybe even ask for a second helping… just to be safe!
Wisdom number Three
The U.S. pet industry is a vast and thriving landscape, one that brings in more than $300 billion each year. A world where 45 million dogs, 32 million cats, and countless other creatures are treated as cherished companions. In this realm, Americans spend nearly $93 billion annually on food and travel alone, while 66% of households open their doors to pets, supporting 2.8 million jobs. Yet, there is a gap—many African immigrants in the U.S. do not partake in this flourishing world, missing both the companionship and the opportunities it offers.
