There Are A Lot Of

I See Other Black Women Imitate My Style, Which Is No Style At All, But Just Letting Our Hair Be Itself. They Call It The Afro Look.

I Didn't Have Much, But I Was Always Happy To Share What I Did Have. It Seemed Like Every African That Came To New York City Would Show Up At My Apartment Door At Dinnertime, And I Couldn't Turn Them Away. I Wasn't Much Older Than Any Of Them, But They Started Calling Me 'mama Africa' And The Name Stuck.

My Thoughts Are Like Quick Little Fish That Swim Out Of My Grasp.

In The West The Past Is Like A Dead Animal. It Is A Carcass Picked At By The Flies That Call Themselves Historians And Biographers. But In My Culture The Past Lives. My People Feel This Way In Part Because Death Does Not Separate Us From Our Ancestors.

It Is Very Much The Theme Of Our President, President Thabo Mbeki, Whose Passion Is For Africa To Work Together, And For Africans To Get Up And Do Things For Us. We Are Trying As Women To Do Things For Ourselves.
