I live a basic life with not too many people involved. I am myself and I speak my mind". She is only seventeen, yet her poetry explores deeper themes on the scale of Maya Angelou.

Her writing gives of whiffs of Bessie Head, of Olive Schreiner, of Maya Angelou. But she is none of these, but a compelling fresh voice from Africa.ver menos
