He's been bringing me supper, each day since I got discharged, just to see my face. I see his tears, also

Ntwana yam, this is how we learned to show up, shoulders straight, chin up.
We conduct orchestras with the likes of Alicia Keys now.
It eventually did, work out for you.
Well done, ngwana aus’ Tshidi. Well done 🤍🪄
Tomorrow my song KULUNGILE drops. We are healing childhood wounds. We are singing our pain away.
Show me a picture of you as a kid. Remind that kid that you made it, grew up&can take care of them
This is me. Smart. Sad. Funny. Big sister par excellence! I suspect I can sing

Doing compositions written by Lwanda Gogwana, Makhathini,Sikhakhane, Mbuso Khoza, Ndabo Zulu. Pushing an African narrative in such spaces, now.🎻
