metro african ligkaribe

I’m a Bantu girl (likgaribe) of Setswana/ Sotho /Shona descent.. Having grown up in Bulawayo I also have a strong Ndebele heritage. Currently I live in Botswana but a part of me will always be Ndebele. I am of the Mmirwa tribe –, my totem is the Buffalo & just like the Buffalo I am very brave, protective, fierce and dangerous when provoked. I love learning about my African heritage, and that of other people, I believe if you stop learning as a person you might as well roll over and die.

This is meant to inspire you,

If Only
by devotionemotion

don't be a sheep
look at the world through a collide-a-scope
and just breathe
the world could be full of colors
if only you held the paintbrush
magic can slip through your finger
open your eyes and you could see change

destruction and chaos
rule the world
but after math breeds the correction
remember the days
that held greatness
revolution is yours for the taking

if only you knew the power you held
if only you knew you could hold the key
to open the door of eternity
and paint greatness for all to see
map out the world
and put yourself on the map
just sit down and take a moment to breath

look at the world
and for once don't judge
open your mind and see
the world could be lovely
if only you would give yourself the chance to be
you could be the next Diego Rivera
maybe even the next Frida Kahlo

the world makes your barriers
break them down
and be free
for you are
the one that holds the power
for you are
the one who could be...

its about how art can give power when one holds a paint brush they can paint anything, same way you are the artist of your life.________________________________________
