Sometimes, it is love
The dating world is an unpleasant dome, where rules are broken, made and
reinvented. An assortment of characters linger waiting for an opportunity to
entice you with false claims and expectations. I loathe the whole scene and
spent part of an entire year as a single, non-dating woman.
Celebrate who you are
As a young Motswana woman, I am proud to be part of a generation of opportunity, born with the need to surpass all our parents' dreams and expectations. Botswana is a country that takes pride in family and respect for all mankind. We are a humble people by nature.
Gabswana-The language of our Generation
Since I have been away from home, I have learned to fully appreciate my culture, all the bad, good and baffling. I have made a conscious effort not to be trapped or consumed by a foreign culture.
Committing Suicide
Over the last few years there have been numerous suicide attempts in our community.

With the number at its all time high, the act of sex has become as dangerous as a suicide attempt.
