REDOLENCE OF A HUSH-HUSH CASE

REDOLENCE OF A HUSH-HUSH CASE

By WINNIE  MWAMSAMALI 

Between the heart and the soul
Real life gives no meaning of this song
It’s like a game of Ping-Pong
And this desperation tears away my soul
As my people remain strangers in their home

Alas! this unbreakable shell
Of a concealed warm tale
Of reality impregnated by a false call
How I desire to break this shell
For the day of liberty is nowhere in spectacle

Like the children of Israel
Am sitting and gazing
Awaiting a breakthrough
But as much as I desire this liberty
Egypt comes with inordinate Pearls

This is a heart expedition
Only those beatified with one can discern
It doesn’t require one’s acumen
They say that silence is golden
Against all odds I will divulge the opportune

Arts For Social and Economic Impact

  THE CREATIVITY THAT IS ARTS While the Arts have and continue to play an import ant role globally, in curriculums of most Developing Countries in Africa, Arts is undermined. In Malawi, for instance the success of students has mostly been measured by classroom credit hours in other subjects but Arts. My passion for Arts began 20 years ago when I was in primary school. I remember loving music and dance. Among all my friends, I was well known as the dancer.   When I was 10 years old, I loved the Congolese genre of music called Rhumba. Rhumba was the music. The beat in rhumba felt like nothing else. I grew up in church. When I was in secondary school, I envied the choir members at our local church. I was curious to know what made the jazzmen and vocalists unique. Why were they able to make music while the rest of us couldn’t?   The piano players were always my favorite.   Somehow, at the age 15 my ears had already learnt to distinguish a good pianist from a not so g...

Reflections on My Mentorship Journey:

  Shaping Lives, One Lemonade at a Time I can’t quite remember the moment I consciously decided to become a mentor. It wasn’t a sudden epiphany or a loud declaration. Instead, it feels as though I woke up one day and realized I had been shaped, molded, perhaps even born, for this role. Somewhere along the way, I embraced the saying: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade . Life, in its unpredictable generosity, has handed me enough lemons to make lemonade for generations. Looking back, I see that those toughest times were not just trials but lessons. Without them, what tangible wisdom could I offer to others navigating their challenges? I’ve found my calling in guiding young people; a fragile yet resilient people. For me, working with them goes beyond mere profession. It’s a purpose; a mission! Beginning the Journey with Girls My mentorship journey began with girls. Their stories found their way to my heart and my desk, demanding solutions to challenges that seemed overwhelming....

THE GENESIS

  After University, all I wanted was to work with and within rural communities. I found meaning in helping others and I wanted to spend the rest of my life helping people out of poverty. I believe that my background greatly inspired  this desire. Growing up in poverty, I did not see a future for myself. Growing up there was very little at my exposure.   I did not know much. Life was okay so long as Nsima (Malawian staple food) was provided for me and my siblings. The biggest challenge for my family was food: How and where to get food for the day. Nsima was a priority. We did not have a choice really. We did not have the privilege of choosing what to eat. Nsima and vegetables on a daily basis was a huge blessing. When I was in primary school, I went to school every day not because anyone inspired me. No one in our neighborhood was educated. All girls aspired to be married. I went to school because my parents forced me to. My Dad especially. The more I went to school, ...
