Blooming Cactus
by mikateko e. mbambo
"From invisibility to invincibility, Mikateko takes us through verses of despair, assault, discrimination, fear and hopelessness that girls and women encountered in a system that does not serve their interests to the life of purpose, power and freedom that girls and women continue to wedge in the face of all odds. This is one anthology that has the power to break and mend you. Mikateko has freed us all!" - Dr. Toyin Ajao (PhD), Researcher, Teacher and Storyteller
Reviews
"Reading Blooming Cactus is like holding up a mirror and going through pages of myself. From childhood inherited traumas of little girls, to black feminist tragedies. She writes about healing and spirituality that transcends understanding. Mikateko has reached into the trenches of black women's souls and yanked out the truth, Word-For-Word. Na khensa sesi for the offering."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I am sold, hook line and sinker. This anthology is of inclusion and advocacy for women in light of obstacles, and I believe every female will take away messages of strength and determination. It will teach you to recognise opportunity, banish fear, and trust your heart."
