"This business of womanhood is a heavy burden." -Tsitsi Dangarembga
Hello!
I'm back again. A few days ago, the very talented and mind blowing blogger Myvonne Alasia approached me and asked me to write an article about any African female I considered as a motivational character. I felt honored. Thanks Myvonne!
After careful thought, only one person came to mind, hailing all the way from my home country Zimbabwe, the inspirational filmmaker and writer Tsitsi Dangarembga.
It made me reminisce my high school days back at Monte Cassino Girls' High in Macheke, Zimbabwe. We as young girls got the opportunity to study one of Tsitsi's bestsellers, the novel called Nervous Conditions, for Ordinary Level Literature. I was really impressed with her style and how she'd effortlessly communicated the importance of female emancipation in a heavily patriarchal society. I could go on and on , but for more on Tsitsi, click Here .
Myvonne is a talented blogger. I'd suggest you visit her blog, it is honestly refreshing to read and gives a pedestal for the African Female to be celebrated!
That's it for now. Till we meet again! P.S - Thinking of dropping a surprise on you guys! Stay tuned.
