I have been writing Poetry for almost a decade. I remember writing my very first poem, and that was to my father *smiles. For me writing has always been another form of expression,
Freedom allows you to be able to express and I am grateful to be an emancipated woman.  I am a public speaker and a motivational speaker and have been in several competitions. Poetry is my passion and i have performed before National and International Poet-laureates, I have performed at concerts and many more. If you are interested in collaborating or if you would like me to perform at your event please contact me on: estherchido91@hotmail.com.

Thank you, Ndatenda

Brake Seshions is a performance poetry duo consisting of Ellipsis and Rennie Alexander.

Linda Gabriel AKA Poetic Angel, born in 1985, is one of the crop of exciting female performance poets to emerge out of Zimbabwe. Bilingual, her linguistic versatility is forged into brilliant poems written in either English or Shona, depending on which language effectively expresses what issue. She started performing poetry in high school and has since participated in major literary events in Zimbabwe, the rest of southern Africa and Europe.
