Masabatha Ntombela

I became a writer at the fragile age of nine, ever since then, I've been honing my language and literature skills.
As an African female, I've found that our individual history matters, even if the world has no need for it. One cannot grow without learning of the past, it's mistakes and possible outcomes that would've changed existence as we know it, so I learn about all walks of life, especially the extinct and the clandestine.
Crafts and Art skills, like Poetry, developed when I was still more of a toddler, approximately five years before poetry became my portal of creativity. I can sew as well as I can create jewelry, not the Etsy-like jewelry sets but elegant and classic pieces that speak to the individual. Oh, I can draw paint and more :)
