One of my all time favourite pictures. Taken while I was just being me, unaware.
Soweto is known for dance, especially Pantsula and Amapiano. This picture captures that about my home. All I know is to dance. When I’m happy, sad, confused, overwhelmed… I will dance it out.
Fashion wise, when in doubt, get yourself a bucket hat and a pair of All-Star. You can never go wrong with that combo!
The picture was taken at Vilakazi Street. While others know it for its profound history, I know it as my home.
If I send you this picture, just know I’m saying: This feels like home.

Soweto lives in me, I am my Soweto.
