Girl to girl: study the patterns in your family. Look at what distracted, delayed, or derailed the women before you, then make intentional decisions to break those cycles.
refuse to be a victim of generational curses ❤️
Ever noticed the spiky, "pineapple" cluster at the top of Eswatini’s Coat of Arms? When King Sobhuza II engineered our national symbols for independence in 1968, he used his own ceremonial attire as the direct blueprint, enshrining indigenous sovereignty at the top of the shield.
Every month,
the uterus prepares itself
to nurture a life within it.
And when that life does not arrive,
it lets go
of everything it had carefully built.
Then, somehow,
it begins again.
Perhaps resilience
was written into women
long before motherhood ever was.
don’t ignore that lump in your breast, many women are getting their breast amputated.
Befriend nature and help protect yourself from the ongoing threats to our health. 💚

I found it so arrogant that schools would forbid the black child from wearing isiphandla but the Indian child could wear the Bindi on their forehead AND wear a hijab. I truly hate the racism in multiracial schools 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️

Next April, 2027 at this exact time, you’ll be standing in the places you used to dream about. Living your most beautiful rich life. Send this to yourself.
Dear Friends
I need your help.
Remember the Cuba matter with the Department of Arts and Culture denying me off my opportunity? My work was translated in Cuba in a tribute to Ntate Keorapetse Kgositsile. I was chosen alongside SA icon Antjie Krog.
The head of department of Arts and Culture refused to bring back my copies of the book because of ego reasons and the deep antagonism I get from the department.
When I send messages to the minister spokesperson she ignores them.
I just want the copies of my work guys. It’s not fair and it’s so cruel what they are doing.
Pls RT far and wide till I get my books from Cuba. It’s my work 😔😔
If I stay home and raise my own children I am a loser and not ambitious
But if I hire and pay another woman to raise and take care of my children for me than I am an empowered woman
If that same woman stayed home with her children she would be a loser
But if she takes care of my children she is not
If we both switched and raised each others children for a paycheck we would be successful ambitious girl bosses
But if we do it for our own children we are losers
We grew up knowing about these things.
Mvelincanti was at the level of the creator of all things. Mlentengamunye would be sent to communicate with us earthly beings.
African spirituality was never corporate but personal. The belief that “umlomo uyadala” or you create with your tongue tells you all you need to know.
They understood that creative power resides within you not outside.
Growing up this was what we were taught and it was emphasized. When you happened to say something negative, you would literally try and reverse it by speaking out and say “Phi, magama ami buyela emuva”. That’s to mean I hear-bye reverse the words I have just uttered . That’s knowledge of the power of the tongue because ultimately YOU are the creator or if you like, the creator lives or manifested itself IN you. It’s a creator who creates. 🤷🏾♂️
That is how I understand our spirituality. It also appears to tie up with the biblical statement by Jesus who confirmed that “Yea are gods….”l He said this after the religious jewish elite tried to stone him for suggesting that he was equal to GOD.
As I also see it, this creative power was exercised officially by the head of the home occasionally by speaking while in cattle kraal. This would be in times of trouble or when landmark decisions had to be made for his family.
Let me stop there Langwenya. 😅

Women aren’t supposed to live the same way as men, experience the same lifestyle as men, or deal with the same stresses as men.
Society wants to equate the productivity efforts of men and women, but they should never be equal, and that should never be the goal.
Women should live a much more leisurely recreational lifestyle.
Men should live a much more serious and productive lifestyle.
Some want to complain that it’s not fair.
It is fair, because men and women are designed differently to align with this dynamic and provide different benefits to humanity as a whole.
Men thrive when they are living a masculine lifestyle.
Women thrive when they are living a feminine lifestyle.
This is the raw truth.
Ask for the big, unreasonable things. The universe meets you at the level of your audacity. Dream beyond what feels safe. Speak your desires without shrinking them.
Be daring with your vision. Be unapologetic with your hope. The universe is always listening.
