Motlalepula Winnie Kgware was born on this day in 1917. She was a teacher and the first woman to lead a political formation that wasn’t an auxiliary of a mother body, the Black People’s Convention. She’s photographed leading a picket during the inquest into Steve Biko’s death.

I really think it’s important that we actively seek and build our communities in our 20’s. Cultivating friendships that pour back into us will carry us through. We are nothing without community.

James Baldwin said that part of being a writer is knowing “what I won’t do.” Word. Writing involves refusal.

I’m on the cover of @bonamagazine I grew up on Bona& others like it who showed black lifestyle, arts & such. People used to send their pictures into Bona so they could be featured holding on to a tree branch or sitting in a park like Phola or Jubert. 🌸New album Sankofa out NOW
