“I was born free.” - Lethabo Huma This is hard to write because I know no words I can write or speak will be as powerful as hers. When I spoke to Lethabo Huma I told her my only experience with South Africa, where she lives, is from Trevor Noah, and the stories he’s told of growing up with a black mother whom he and his siblings had to tell police was a maid due to apartheid laws. So I asked her if she had similar experiences to this.
Lethabon's fight against injustice and injustice in this way is beautiful, and his work is magnificent.
