Scars make us beautiful.

These are reflections expressed in letters, poetry and stories. Initially l wrote them as a form of solace, to release tension of loosing people, as a way of acknowledging things l cannot control, accepting that l am powerless over human behavior. And then l thought 🤔 damn this is well written, it should not end up being burnt or thrown away. The emotions are expressed in a vague, subtle way, but l think that's what literature is all about.

A heart warming story about love, abuse and tribalism. Thandolwami is a Ndebele word which means "My Love". The story is set in modern day Zimbabwe.
