artistic style, expression and image embody her abilities, aspirations and
achievements as a musician, poet, writer, dancer, actress and creative thinker.
Lady Tshawe is a force whose convictions and views about equal opportunities
for self-expression influence her writing, her theatrical roles, her music and
her conversations. She advocates for expressing herself as a person, which is
far from the need to be afforded privileges because she is a woman. Lady Tshawe
comes from a rich line of Nguni thinkers and creative workers with her father
being a poet himself and having influenced her passion.
“I am woman. I am woman not created out of dust but created from inside
of you, taken from your rib not to be controlled, trampled on and misused by
you; but rather to be by your side and be loved, cared for and protected by
you. I need not fear for you are there with me”
Her convictions, transnational exposure and passion for artistic
expression inform her present aptitude towards the arts and research.
