Hey People! 🌵✨🇿🇦
In this video, I share what heritage means to me — the stories, the roots, and the creative energy we inherit and carry forward.

At the end, you’ll see a post about Kannaland KonneKt – Rooted Futures, happening 13–16 October. I’m one of three professional volunteers and cultural strategists helping bring this programme to life.

I’m so excited to share what’s on the lineup: film screenings, music, dance & rap, school visits, and book talks.

One of our aims? To shine a spotlight on local creatives and connect passionate young people with experienced voices in the industry — to inspire, support, and empower them to tell their stories and embrace their art forms.

🎶 The arts is where it’s at!
Let’s take up space, bring our untapped stories to light, and make our voices heard.

✨ Don’t miss it!
✨ If you’d like to support in a meaningful way — beyond just attending — please reach out.

Looking 2Learn recieved an invitation from Aishah to answer the question, "what does Heritage or Heritage day mean to you?" The responses were a bit slow... So I thought, let me take it to the streets! She only needed a few but ... We all know Yvette haha.
First I asked the guys who put in the new electricity metre ... Then Diana was walking by, then Darryl came to fetch Elmarie, then I had to ask Joy something, then I asked the lady next door, then I went to the restaurant, then mica a d I both saw the best dressed individual in town and just had to ask... Eventually... I asked so many people in that radius... It became something else!

A whole experience and experiment. I didn't get all yes's and I had to give some people time... So I was moving between spaces, listening to their stories...

So thanks for the prompt Love Kannaland ! I ran around a bit but it was wonderful speaking to people. As usual ... That's what I love to do most. I told Aishah... Okay ..can I get more tasks like this?! I felt energized and lit up.
