The following spoken word speaks on how unemployment can make you feel like your hands are tied, but it's not so if you use what you have got. If you have a solid skillset, go out there and look for opportunities. It might not be what you studied or trained for but it could open new doors for you and bring in much needed financial compensation in today's life.  Don't give up. Get up, get out the door and go find your new normal. You can do it!

Get motivated! And pass it on!

Voet - Tjek an ode to unemployment

This spoken word sheds light on how important our attitudes as adults and figures of authorities are to our kids and the youth of today. Our kids need us and we need them to become self- sufficient, self- sustainable well- rounded beings who possess love, compassion and fighting spirits. Save our kids and we leave them the brightest legacy we could have ever imagined.

S.O.K ( Save Our Kids)

The title of this spoken word says it all; choose love. Despite what so many of us were taught about love, a time will come where all our preconceived beliefs of the perfect love will shatter right before our eye and something better will arise. 

Your eyes will open up an entire universe within you, eradicating hate ( aka fear ) and take you on a magical path of love. And if you are fortunate you'll find that same love in the heart of someone else and live to fully experience that love as a shared vision and dream.

Enjoy!

Choose Love

South Africans have been dealing with load-shedding ( scheduled power cuts for a very long time and it is not easy or fathomable that it continues to happen during a pandemic during the winter months here.
All of us are doing our best and should continue to do our best by facing our battles wisely. Use load-shedding time to take a load off, or rest. Spend time with your family and unplug from your phone, social media and television. Take up a new hobby or pick up an old one that could bring you much joy right now.

Love and light!

This spoken word is for those of us who feel that we are not enough. Knowing full well that we are in fact enough. That what others think of us is none of our business but what we think about ourselves is what truly matters. Make sure you think good, positive nurturing thoughts.
Love and be loved.

This is a new spoken word that touches on colourism amongst people of colour. Being light-skinned has not always favoured me and I have been bullied and attacked for being a shade lighter than some of my cousins, school friends and even when I was living and working abroad. The moment I told people that I was a person of colour, their level of respect dropped drastically and I was not seen in the same light. Being marginalized and discriminated against by your own race causes a different kind of pain, but I have learnt from this experience. If I accept myself. I am well. Shoutout to those people who think they are not heard or seen. We are all beautiful, no matter our shades or textures.

This is my second demo that was beautifully recorded by my program director. It's called Y.D.F. ( Young, divine and free )
He  did the musical arrangement and I came up with the initial melody and lyric during our songwriting course. 

This feel-good song is the perfect theme song to those who have brave hearts and are ready to take that leap of faith and realise there dreams.

Enjoy!
