This new strain of flu is brutal. 😭😭 fighting for my life out here.

Back to reflecting into fieldwork experiences. I need to do my PhD write up justice 🙂‍↔️. More importantly, to every participant, in every form, part and space. 👏🏽👏🏽

The whole confusion over the consistent rising of GBV cases in Botswana is a joke. Don’t search far. Start with familiar institutions. Of family, circles that protect abusers, rapists, pedophiles. Validating abuse because culture and “batho ba tla reng”👀👀. Nonsense.

Thank you for all the kind messages, calls, prayers, presents and advice today. I thought I would share a photo of a younger me. Always with the laughs and jokes eh. 😅😅 For you my friends and family, I wish this year will be kind and gentle. Peaceful and calm. #birthday

It has been a good day so far. Lots of calls, chocolate cake and flowers. A good birthday! Age is a social construct 😂. I am 19 years.

I was very excited to leave the house. A few steps in, I fell so shamelessly. I came back into the house. What am I doing outside at -5 degree weather. I want to go buy plantain though. 😝 and finish my PhD chapters, need to write in some space.

Such a wholesome check in with @AdomOpare today. Attended a seminar and it was amazing to connect back with the cohort and the banter 🤣🔥🔥

One of my memorable moments is having my aunt to say come here. And she held me.Tightly and in a wholesome way. I will complete this PhD and get the A4 sheet granting me the qualification. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Oh mother. You would be proud.Ululate and may there be joy. Let it flow like in the land of milk and honey. May it reach your kin folk. Queen mother. Let this win be an Ode to you. Thank. A whole nation(s) thank you. Realeboga. Go menaganye. 💫⭐️
