About Me
I am an Afrofuturistic Storyteller.
I use podcast to share and archive herstory, my life seen through a sista's eye.
With my roots in Zimbabwe, I now live on stolen and unceded Blak lands in "Australia" where I write and share these stories.
Every podcast season, I invite you to listen and journal along with me as I set of on the lifelong journey to decolonise my mind and way of being.
Each season revolves around a specific poem, a theme and a question. The poem for this season is called "The Conversation Is Always The Same" or "For Visionaries And Raindancers". The theme is #AfricaSpeaksBack and the corresponding question that guides my storytelling and interviews with various folks is "What Does It Mean To Be African In The 21st Century?"
As a migrant living in a world that holds such firm ideas about "Africa" and "Africans" while consuming so much African culture, I often wonder what would happen if Africans themselves interrupted the narrative. Who would we all be then - especially the folks who drive the production of the dominant narrative about Africa and Africans. The poem that informs this entire series sits at the heart of this exploration of identity and self-determination. I'd say more but then you wouldn't listen to the podcast. May I invite you to make yourself a hot drink, grab your journal and get comfy. It's storytime!
