To the black woman in particular, your dark skin is very beautiful just as is. Be you, beautifully so. You are wonderfully made. - Hope Masike

I hope Zimbabweans will write and tell our own stories, us musicians, poets, historians, all of us – we need to capture the true story of Zimbabwe and tell that to the world.

All women of the world, lets normalise being content with how God created us, proudly and loudly so enhancing our beauty is perfectly fine except when it's to the detriment of our health, be it physically or emotionally.

I did these poems in a very 'open-minded' effort to find an often silent/silenced voice. There are things we do not ever say. There are things we don't know how to say. There are things that have never been said.
