So FEMINISM IS....whatever works for you......

.....that's according to JEN THORPE editor and birth mother of the book of the same name. Great to have her give a workshop at Woman Zone - where better!

The book is a collection of about essays by different women giving their take on the subject - amongst them, Bongeka Masango....

There was a great deal of listening....

....quite a bit of questioning...

....a great deal of thinking and writing....

....and some conferring....

....more questions than answers really....

...and inevitably tea, talk and networking....

...and lots to think about with a strong take-home factor. Thank you Jen. Here's to FEMINISM in all its many guises!

...,..in which ironically author PHUMZILE SIMELANE KALUMBA paid wifely respect to facilitator and storyteller Philippa Kabali-Kagwa as a Ugandan!

....and at which....

.....everyone was invited to introduce each other, by their name.....

Some, like Gogo, had much to say about their name.....

.....some less, and differently....

.....but again, much to be shared.....

....and learned....

And then the signing, the reading - and more thanks to author Phumzile and publisher Colleen Higgs. What an enriching day at WOMAN ZONE....thank you everyone for talking - and sharing! WZ xx

In the inner sanctum of St George's Cathedral in Cape Town, a cryptic but blessed choice of venue for the launch of a very special book....

.....and This Is How It Is! With contributions from members of the Life Righting Collective.

The the audience was amped....

Singer, poet Philippa Kabali-Kagwa got everyones attention with words spoken and sung.....

....and the contributing authors were called to receive their books.....

And then the writers delivered their words in the manner of their choice.....
