"And while it can be mystifying, it is also an illustration of the possibilities. That there are no consequences to coloring outside the lines."
Thank you for this piece, Nenelwa. This is my intro to your writing. And as a long time friend who wonders where you are in the world and what you're doing, it's great to read about your journey and experiences. This makes me think about how our experiences across the shores to return home can often be met with a bit of shame and ridicule for not knowing enough about the lands of our parents. It makes me giddy thinking about how our experiences and difference can be celebrated (the possibilities)
Asante sana, Sam. Your readership means so much. As does this thoughtFULL comment. Yes; it makes me giddy too. We are the ones we've been waiting for 🌱
