YOUNG BASADZI - the rains and sunshine...
Well, Durban has been a bit dull with cloudy and rainy skies - BUT today is full of sunshine promises and hopes...
A lot has been happening to this mosadzi-Rose - going back to a stunning weekend of Women in Fashion and Poetry on the 20th, August. Still grateful that we are able to continue with the revolution for women's 'breakthrough'! It is truly a blessing to a part of South Africa today, right now...
The 27th, August was the revival of Durban's Drumbeat festival and YOUNG BASADZI was honoured to have been a part of this awesome show. The drum, the beat, the dance, the rhythm, the poetry...
OKAY OKAY! What have I really been up to?
'Walking in this World', Julia Cameron gives and restores so gently and beautifully the practical steps toward creativity - lost or yet to be found... It has a striking green cover, and I certainly recommend it! Go out to the bookstore and walk in this world...
Also had a priviledge of being a part of Steve Biko's world through Donald Woods' eyes. 'BIKO' has introduced me to this great man who was born at a time when his revolutionary ideas of Black Consciousness could not be conceived nor understood. Kinda like Jesus who was also born at a time when this world was all about wars and he came with the notion of peace, love and harmony... unthinkable...? They must have thought he was mad and of course they killed him for it! Steve Biko also died young, and somehow I am convinced that we are still NOT ready to hear what he had to say. He did what most of us only dream of doing - which is finding the alternate solution... looking inward. A path toward self-love, self-worth, self-revival! A MUST-READ for every black person!
I wonder at times how many 30year-olds today can truly say that we believe in what we do? We just sorta struggle on in our worlds, in the hope to find ourselves amidst all the chaos... ?
Thursday sessions at the BatCentre are just awesome - PLEASE JOIN US at the BatCentre, 5pm! I still write, I still dream, I still long for an alternate solution for the young women of our country...
POETRY AFRICA, 2005 is just around the corner and a year later - our book is still not out! Do not despair - our time is coming...
