As a member of the most vulnerable, inexperienced, and hopeful class in society across the world, I believe that the youth has important messages to communicate to the world and possess an interesting perspective on social and communal life. It is in this realm that the voice of people my age is taken into consideration because this is where the future of literary text lays with the coming generation. My experiences as youth and a black female in a huge sociopolitical arena where social and political issue ensue speak to the ways in which society has changed and how we, the current youth, view the world. Furthermore, imagination and escapism from harsh reality and the quest for the truth about true love and the ultimate role for an upcoming woman lead to fantasies mixed with reference to real-life events from my personal space and people around it. I, like lower social economical class, young black woman hail from humble settlement in Limpopo in South Africa. I am a young lady who wants to bring change to her life. Writing this book is the first step and getting it published is the first step that I am taking to get the world to know about what I am capable of, and also to inspire young people like me to take risks and do what they love. Not only do I write, but I also sing and draw.
