Sukoluhle Moyo, who was blind, taught us how to see. She taught us to see injustice. To see one another. To see what really matters. Justice is not just about laws – it’s about whether a grieving mother can bury her child with dignity.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

A profound loss. Athol Fugard’s work inspired countless in the fight for justice and truth. Sizwe Banzi Is Dead shaped my understanding of apartheid’s evils during a time of heavy censorship. Rest in peace and rise in power.
