The Power of a Gr-Attitude
i somehow got into two Facebook argumersations yesterday at the same time. TWO! i can’t remember that happening before. i usually try pick my battles one at a time, but somehow, two different articles i shared, generated two different fairly strong push backs. Which i love. i love it when people push back and are […]

The drum beats on…
i have read some REALLY helpful articles about privilege this week. My fear is that the appearance of the word ‘privilege’ with the assumption of it being specifically ‘white privilege’ on my blog immediately drives the very people i am wanting to hear and engage with this stuff away. But my hope, which is so […]

I Write What I Like – Steve Biko: the perceived inferiority of the black man
This is a hard but necessary passage to share from Steve Biko’s ‘I Write What I Like’ which you should totally get hold of and read in its entirety. Hard, because it is true. Not true that the black man is inferior, but that the idea of the black man being inferior has been so […]
Getting Real with some White South Africans
This rollercoaster looks familiar. i had just posted a link to an article titled Get Real White South Africa, written by Milisuthando Bongela on the Times Lives site. It contained this challenging and eye-opening statement: Only white people can end white supremacy from within their communities – from their churches, schools, dinner tables, clamber clubs, […]

Of Bacon and Vegetarians and looking after our little planet…
i saw this picture of a giant stack of bacon on Facebook the other day: And fortunately someone hadn’t yet shared this particular piece on my wall [although give it time] but it still made me a little angry. It had the message “Tag someone you know who would eat this” and fortunately no one […]

67 minutes [and more] painting squares for Mandela Day
An empty wall, except for the occasional message graffiti tag that has drawn attention away from the desperate need for a paint job. Mandela Day and the creation of opportunities under the 67 minutes banner for the general public to get involved in goodness. A creative sister-in-law with a vision, a plan and template […]
Love Jesus, but be sure to wear shoes!
i was busy painting my block for the uThando leNkosi wall painting project as part of our 67 minutes and a bit for Mandela Day yesterday when things got a little interesting. A lady i had just met, assuming i guess, that we were a bunch of christians helping out with this project, decided to […]

Micropoem: Triple threat
i woke up this morning to the Twitterer hashtag #IfIDieInCustody sparked by yet another police vs person of colour incident in Americaland. i have already blogged about it here, but the semi-poet in me kept screaming words and phrases and so eventually i sat down and came up with three different flavoured micropoems, for three […]
