Autorentext

Social criticism has always been my passion. I enjoy analysing behavioural patterns in society from various perspectives. I believe that the voices and viewpoints of Black women, in particular, are insufficiently represented in social discourse, which is why challenging the prevailing standards is of immense importance to me. By sharing the story of my mother, as well as that of my sister and myself, I aim to destigmatise single motherhood and separation, while giving credit to all women who are shunned by society for making choices that serve their best interests.
