Every time I paused to critique a line or restructure a stanza, I stepped into the role of an editor before I had fully shown up as a writer. It was like trying to rebuild a bridge while still walking across it. And inevitably, I fell through. So I stopped. Now, I let the first draft be messy. I let it be repetitive, too emotional, too soft, too loud, too unfinished. I don’t try to make it presentable. I try to make it real. Because the first draft is sacred, it’s where grief leaks through, where doubt scratches the surface, where I let God in without needing to sound poetic about it. That’s where the heartbeat of your writing lives. This is the moment I was just dumping thoughts onto the page, knowing I’d later return: --- First Draft (Excerpt)

Are Foreign Nationals Really to Blame for Our Jobs Crisis?
I remember the first time I heard someone shout, “Go back to your country!” It was at a small taxi rank in Gauteng, Johannesburg. The man targeted wasn’t even arguing — he was just selling bananas, trying to earn enough for the day. The anger in that moment wasn’t just about him. It was about the hunger, the waiting, the years of broken promises.
