Remembering Tata Madiba Through Music

December 13, 2013

From a young age my dad made sure to educate my siblings and I about the liberation war struggles of Southern African countries and most lessons started with music.

‘Do you know, understand and respect your squads love languages?’ - #NomweSquadGoals . . . Since time immemorial society has placed A LOT of importance of romantic relationships (cue self-proclaimed ‘relationships gurus’, seminars, books, podcasts ) and has neglected to realise that for us to function as self-actualised aka woke beings equal if not more emphasis should be placed on our friendships. This is how the ‘#NomweSquadGoals: The Friendships Edition’ was born, where myself and co-host Mukuka will delve deeper into friendships. Mukuka aka Mama Fixer is a digital media strategist and podcaster, she is also a personal friend of over 10 years. The series premiere episode is now live, click link in bio. . . . #SquadGoals #africanpodcasters #africanpodcast #NomwePodcast #africanbloggers #blackgirlspodcast #blackgirls #blackgirlskillingit #selfdevelopment #friendshipgoals #sistersquad #sistercircle #lovelanguage
Ain’t much changed, honestly. We grew, they created better formulated longwear lipsticks, we outgrew some friends, some friends we’ll just drift apart HOWEVER for us two our love for each has grown, we fight hard for each other, we communicate better, we laugh harder, we pray for each other even more, and what’s not changed is that we’ll always be right by each other’s side. We thank God for blessing us and for never changing our smiles around each other❣️💕 My mum and dad’s bestie @tamarao_stylista . . Naah come on..us mans we’ve always been 🔥🔥 and our sauce stays dripping! . . Us new age African Bougie aunties are a whole new different level and vibe!! . . . #howhardaginghityouchallenge #blackgirlmagic #zimgirlskillingit #NewAgeBougieAuntie #SundayTestimony
Top 10 Reads of 2018, I read 54 books this year & intentionality read books by black women authors and/or ‘Own Voices’ 1. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones...Linda honey listen I have never loathed a character in 2018 as much as Andre and side-eye Roy with his Fckboy tendencies. I would roll my eyes whenever Andre had something to say..Think ‘Ain’t nobody come to see you Otis’. This was my Coco Mademoiselle ie cherished 2. Stay With Me - Ayobami Adébáyò...wow! I needed a hug after reading this book!This was my Gucci Bamboo! 3.

This is my Elie Saab - Girl of Now 4. Children of Blood & Bone - Tomi Adeyemi...black Girl magic personified! Touching on our African Gods, touching on magic, touching on police brutality all in this magical book! 5. Heads of The Colored People -Nafissa Thompson-Spires..the only short story collection that made my top 10. Relatable stories of black folks in predominantly white spaces. The ‘Lettre Belles’ has to be the funniest, pettiest short story! Narciso Rodriguez: For Her 6. The Perfect Find - Tia Williams...feel good, fashions you could visualise, funny, warm and all around feel good. : This is Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. 7. Well-Read Black Girl - A must-Read anthology for every black girl who loves reading! To this WRBG started off as a book club to this! Yoh! :Tom Ford too! 8. Little Fires Everywhere - Celeste Ng..whew a lot of unpacking was done from this book! Thanks @vimfromzim for the recommendation. 9. We Are Going To Need More Wine - Gabrielle Union..Gabby is one talented story teller! She had me literally 😂 and then would also tug at my heartstrings. This is Gucci Bloom. 10. Becoming - Michelle Obama..Auntie Michelle’s storytelling skills were ace in ‘Becoming Me’!I had some detachment issues when I finished listening to it as I missed hearing her voice read to me. : Hermes 24 Faubourg . . . These books took me on a journey, a journey I loved & some made me think of my fave 2018 fragrances! What books did you love? Any fave fragrances?
