    K RE-PRESENTS: Four things I learned in 2020

    K RE-PRESENTS: Four things I learned in 2020... PHEEEEEEW!! It's the last day of 2020, the last episode of @representpod in 2020!  In this solo episode, K looks back at the lessons that remained constant in 2020. Summarising them to four biggest lessons of 2020. These are: 1. Infinity; I am infinite 2. Letting go; the importance of 3. Grief; how to let grief be 4. Communication has always been key With the pandemic, the national and global lockdowns, losing my grandmother, family, relationship and friendships... so many things that can happen any time/year, but with the world sort of on a stop, everything that happened was to somewhat an extreme. Every little thing was magnified and demanded time to be felt and seen for what it is. I reflect on these four lessons and how they forced their way into my life. Its a funny, intimate and emotional episode.  Thank you guys so much for being on this journey with me. Happy New Year's Eve and Complements for the New Year!

They live in South Africa and have created work across visual, literary and performance-related mediums. Their short stories have appeared in anthologies such as the Lambda-award-winning Queer Africa: New and Collected Fiction, Outside the XY: Black and Brown Queer Masculinities, Exhale: Queer African Erotic Fiction and the AZE Journal: Asexuality Zine. They self-published an anthology of South African based horror stories titled, 4. They have written non-fiction for Writing the Walls Down and Brain Mill Press.

I believe where we rest in our most intimate moments, whether these are moments of interpersonal dysfunction or tenderness, is deeply sacred. And storytelling through art offers ample opportunity to venerate that sacred space. Art also allows us the room to cultivate affirmation and perhaps sometimes even healing for the ways we navigate intimacy. My work seeks to explore these avenues of veneration, affirmation, and the facilitation of prospective healing as expansively as possible."  Connect and visit Mercy's online platforms below:  Website: mercythokozaneminah.yolasite.com Instagram: iamafreedom
