We love poetry, samosas, and hybridity.
Free expression, new voices, and taking up space with a helluva lot of  mirch masala!

We believe in equality, in loudness, in hope. We believe in owning our narratives, celebrating the diversity of the SA diaspora and identity, and learning about SA poetic traditions.

In encouraging women and girls to be unapologetically outspoken by creating platforms and hearing their stories. 

We are creating a contemporary SA voice, engaging with established arts organisations to ensure that this new voice is heard. We are connecting with our roots and forging new paths, decolonising and de-exoticizing our bodies. We are unflinching, frank, distinct. We speak for ourselves. We are not to be consumed, but to be heard.

We run a monthly writers group and a quarterly Open Mic Night (Golden Tongue)
