Sassy African Feminist

It’s important to acknowledge your privileges. Unfortunately most Caucasian local South African are in denial about their privileges. linkedin.com/posts/lisaboha…

@MirandaFrance1 Me pretending that it’s not amazing that you replied to my post and followed me back. 👩🏾‍💻👩🏾‍💻Thank you.

@GodessRumbi Thanks so much! It was lovely to meet you all 💜

Lovely, mini salon with author @MirandaFrance1 today! We discussed her most recent work #TheWritingSchool, a delightful concoction of personal childhood experiences, her brother’s mental health which led to suicide, anecdotes from creative writing courses and womanhood.

I found it fascinating how much I resonated with her story in many ways yet we are from very different backgrounds. The book is funny, the writing is beautifully crafted, with quotable lines for aspiring writers and about life, memory and grief. I highly recommend! #IanThomson

Festival founder #KnoxChitiyo, novelist @BrianChikwava, writer #GoddessBvukutwa and spoken-word artist #LorraineChademunhu participate in the Britain ZImbabwe Society Book Festival in central London, now.

Sad news for Zimbabwe. Weaver Press shuts its doors after 25 years of publishing some quite wonderful books and authors. I am proud to own every work of Zimbabwean fiction published by Weaver. I will always cherish their books. aljazeera.com/features/2023/…

We the project leads have never wavered from the goal of the project- To empower young women in #Wales and #Zimbabwe through enhancing their writing skills and giving them a platform for their voices to be heard

Excellently planned by @writetoempower and @katetnorth the young women participated in inspirational sessions with amazing women who are leading the literary scene in Wales, they read their work in front of an audience for the first time, & participated in more writing workshops

It was the climax of a writing journey. 3 years of online writing workshops and virtual retreats; poetry and a bit of prose; mentorship and publication of two books; all of this culminated in a trip to Wales for 8 young Zimbabwean female writers.

Spent an inspiring day with @GodessRumbi & our group of young women writers from Wales & Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We had an induction, a city walking & writing workshop, a visit to Cardiff castle & an inspiration session with @RowanvaleBooks & Hannah Loy (@BBCSounds) 💚

I attended a poetry reading this evening with young women from Wales and Zimbabwe and was very moved by their works. Beautiful to meet @GodessRumbi @hanan_issa_ @writetoempower @katetnorth and other creatives supporting this amazing cultural exchange project 🇿🇼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💗

#CanYouHearUs first face to face event last night! Incredible! Huge thanks to @GodessRumbi @writetoempower @katetnorth, for making it happen and bringing #wales and #zimbabwe together🥰🥰🥰 #youngwomenwriters

@zwBritish @writetoempower @BritishArts Thanks @zwBritish for the tweet. However like Christina said this was a collaborative project between Zim and Wales. I must say that I am surprised that @zwBritish is the one that effaced the Zimbabwean partner in this tweet. May you please kindly correct this tweet.

@writetoempower through her ebook 'Where I am Writing From' provides women with an opportunity for writing development and cultural exchange. The book celebrates varied and dynamic writing by participants in Wales and Cardiff. Ebook👉 amazon.co.uk/Where-Im-Writi… #Cultureconnects
