Who Are We?
Contributor?Ducaleon, Editor Tadiwa ,?Styra Yacho
It’s been a much needed long while as we took a break from social media whilst continuing our work as a platform for authentic African expressions in the background. However, we are excited to introduce a series of articles from young and robust African minds that have faced just enough to shine a light into the African future that we all need. What we like the most specifically about their thoughts is that they are raw and provocative enough to engage our current issues at a different level. As Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Enjoy!
Who are we?
A wise philosopher once stressed the fact that we can never know whom and where we going to be in the future until we truly define who we are in the present.
They say knowledge of the past can be our defining factor, but I believe it’s a deep chasm of successful and failed expeditions which shape the today us. For centuries we have been called uncivilised, a lost tribe, the tail of all societies and so much more.
However, it's only those who realise that people’s perceptions will always be there but should never be a defining factor of who we are.
I have been discriminated maybe because of my colour, my background or even my African accent but one thing I have always embraced is my identity, a young proud and ambitious young Zimbabwean.

Never allow the inferiority complex to be the judge of your fate, rather embrace the nature of our being to be a transformative factor to our society. It is us who have chosen to become this mammoth network of ambitious, hardworking, visionary, and responsible leaders of today and not tomorrow.
Let us not confuse Westernization for Modernization, its only on us to accept who we are and innovatively adapt to the changing times without losing our Identity.
The question however remains, Who are we?
We have been brought into an already intrinsically complicated world which forces us to outwork our own abilities in hope for a better tomorrow. Let us look at our societal challenges and try to solve them from the root up with full force of responsibility and accountability.
We need to be proactive; we can be what others have never dreamt of us. I mean truly defining our being can only be an encyclopaedia but the question I leave you with is Who are You and Who do you want to become and How are You going to do that?
