I'm so glad! It's an oddly edgy feeling to take something that may have all sorts of connections to a person and then work on it creatively and (hopefully) sensitively.
I had to Google ek kan huil, and I'm glad I did. What a lovely phrase.
Thank you for contributing that starting point as well! 😊 Team work makes the dream work.
Hehe you can imagine the fear writing this. There have been a couple of instances where I've been given a story that asks me to adopt a lens that could have some tension. A white English guy commenting on South African indigenous people (after what the English did there). Or later. A story very firmly about women seeking liberation in a strict society.
I hope I have found a careful balance, but would always love feedback on whether or not it's worked in that way.
Ek kan huil. Oh this was more than good. This just brought back memories. I could place myself there. I love love love the old history.
You more than did my suggestion justice. The way you described the father’s reaction… spot on. Just brilliant.
Thank you!❤️
