Moroccan Argan Oil Real Story From a Berber Woman
I am working with my shoulders, legal work and hallal money
You heard me, we collect argan, break it, and we clean it up
We process and filter it, than we roast it a bit,
We also blended it in Azreg (a traditional berber blender, see the picture below)
We sell it to Germans, French, Holland, British, You hear me
We sell to Muslims and other religions, and Middle East and other regions of Europe
Argan oil is a medication…
I am raising my kids and family, and we are all working in Argan
We have our own store, and we are living like everyone else, and we are well
Anyone who wants to work need to use his or her own shoulder
I have four girls and four boys, boys are working, one of my girl is married, and the other 3 are still single, and they are working as well.
You hear me, I know a little bit of French, and we are living, god is helping us
All my family is working, but I am the only one who’s working the hardest. Because
Azreg is hard to use to process Argan. Yeah, Azreg is hard! (big laugh), work is hard
That’s why people don’t want to work, Azreg is so good, it helps me, I get to sweat
I laugh with foreigners (non Muslims) and I laugh with Muslims because we are the same and we are living with other people.
We don’t get mad, whatever people say to us, we need money, l’argent, monsieur…(big laugh)…travail, l’argent…(big laugh)
I can’t cry, I am laughing, and enjoying my living.
I am always lauging…(big laugh)
A little bit of money, we buy our own needs, and we dance once in awhile
Argan is very expensive, we don’t cheat, we provide real organic argan, we don’t cheat, how about god? Death is waiting us, we can’t cheat our customers by mixing argan,
No cheating, It is my my head and brain that guides me, and I used it to watch Berber women who knew how to make Argan, they tought me how to make it, after that, I start making my own argan
People are a bit hard and harsh on us, you hear me
I don’t know, what is wrong with them
Everything is available, vegetables, fruits and meat are everywhere
Sometimes I hear stuff that I don’t like, and it makes me sick
When you hear someone saying stuff that you don’t do
Especially when they say, you are mixing argan, and it is not authentic
But I usually leave them to god, that’s what makes me sad..
