Some books arrive exactly when your spirit is ready. This was one of them. A reminder that consciousness, courage and active citizenship are not optional-they are the backbone of freedom.
Feminism didn't find me in theory-it found me in lived experience. This book took me back to the moments where girls were taught to serve and boys were taught to expect. We are done. We are unlearning. We are speaking back.

If, like me, you've struggled with control, Nozipho Tshabalala's After the Fires will feel like both a mirror and a map-a reminder that letting go is not weakness, but power.
