Martina, Italy and Nourou, Senegal Martina has been attracted to black Africa since she was a child, at 15 she went to visit her father who worked as a teacher in Nigeria and found here what she had always felt. Nourou, after a brief stay in France to study, arrived in Italy in December 2000. In 2005 he met Martina because he went to the municipality office, where she worked, to renew his residence permit. They got married in the Mosque in 2009 and in 2015 in the Municipality. They adopted a niece of Nourou who arrived in Italy in 2021. Martina and Nourou run a volunteer project in Senegal which is dedicated to Martina's dad. The Senegalese community perceives Nourou as a black toubab, which in its language means "white man" because he has Western behavior. Martina finds that the African man is simpler in his relationship with the feminine because he is more in contact with masculine strength. Martina has always imagined marrying an African man.
