YOUNG BASADZI - the concept
The concept of Young Basadzi Projects is in itself so amanzingly big because of my love for life, and passion for my culture and the arts. Initiated in July 2004, various projects would be designed to empower and uplift the young women of south africa.
Life in the 25 years that I have been at it, has been all about beauty and abundance - only now am I able to acknowledge and just gratefully bask in it. One of the challenges as young people is that, we are either so chaotically determined to succeed or so afraid of failure that we miss the true essence of life which can lead to an unfulfilling journey of dreams that seem out there OR goals too far to achieve.
Only YOU can define success in your life - and to get there without getting too lost in the traffic, we definitely have to know ourselves intimately and truly love ourselves with very little reservation. We all have it in us, we have to see it in us, and want it for us - that is the only way!
Our first literature project took off in September 2004, where an invitation was sent out on a national quest to compile works by young black south african women writers. The idea was embraced by women right across the country, and it led to the birth of a stunning collection called: ‘I Write – A Collection of Written Expressions by Young South AFRICAN women’(more on this later... )
We are already hard at work with the second collection, 'On Dreams' and once again, the response has been absolutely phenomenal. We will venture into other spheres in terms of the arts whereby we can come up with more original/innovative ways to present the talents of our south african women e.g. food, photography, music.
The possibilities are limitless, and we endeavour to showcase only the best. So watch this space!
