Where did your name come from?
I have always been fascinated by my name because…..
My name speaks volumes
I dance to it’s pronunciation
And realise I will not alter this name
To suit a plastic world
For my name speaks of warriors
Red earth and drums
Rhythm grown in the home
The dance of the pestle
The shake of the basket
The grind of the stone
As food floods the home
My name celebrates me
For whom I have become
I dance when called
At my heritage and birthright
Nuances and intonations
I will not play down or lay down as slang
Words too rich to pronounce…
They leave a twist in your tongue
So call me by name
And light up my eyes
With the sweet breath of home
I find in my name
At the scent of grass mingled with rain
As it kisses the soul of Africa
