Finally found the community!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
I have been part of The COHORT for five weeks now, and I am having the time of my life.
There is something energising about finding yourself among creative, intelligent and respectful people who are committed to discovering, growing and strengthening their voices within their respective spaces.
It may have taken me five weeks to realise that this was the community Kopano had been talking about during our Saturday sessions. I kept wondering, “How does one become part of this community?” Then, finally, the penny dropped—I was already in it!
I love writing. Even my children know that when I walk around with an extra spring in my step, it usually means I have been writing.
Don’t get me wrong—I love what I do professionally. Working in communications means that I write all the time: emails, reports, press statements, newsletters, social media posts and responses to queries. Kuningi! It is exciting and fulfilling, but it is also the work that pays the bills and puts food on the table. Naturally, it comes with its own terms and conditions, rules, regulations and expectations.
Creative writing, however, gives me vooma!
It gives me the freedom to explore my thoughts, express my perspective and put my authentic voice into the world. Like Steve Biko, I write what I like—sharing my voice in the hope that it will find a place where it can land, connect with others and continue to grow.
Being part of The COHORT is teaching me that creativity can thrive alongside planning, discipline and structure. I am learning how to become more intentional about my writing and how to give my ideas the space they deserve.
I am thoroughly enjoying this journey—and I look forward to discovering where my voice will take me next.
