HEY YOU!
I'm so glad you made your way to my blog!!
My name is Zama Nkabinde and welcome to Your Silence Will Not Save You!
I’d describe myself as “curious, spirited, resolute and hilarious”. You’ll know I feel safe with you if my humour is a consistent part of our conversations.
If I’m giving you “last born” energy right now, its because I’m my mother’s youngest child and have 5 siblings between my parents. I call Soweto, Johannesburg my hometown and now live in Cape Town. I’ve amassed colourful experiences, interests and knowledge over the last 30 years and can’t wait to share my thoughts with you all.
WHY A BLOG IN 2023?
01. FAVOURITE PEOPLE
My niblings are my favourite people in the whole world! They are a beautiful source of joy for me; I’ve loved being their aunt and getting to see the world through their eyes.
02. WANDERLUST
My first international trip was a month-long stay in Germany after winning an olympiad at 17. I have since travelled some more (Bali, Mozambique, the US etc) and would LOVE to add more stamps to my green book.
03. PETALS & GRAPES
I love all sorts of flowers but my favourite floral arrangement is pink lilies and white roses.
I enjoy a light chardonnay in the spring/summer and a bold pinotage when it’s colder outside.
04. ASPIRING DOG MOM
My mom has already started asking me about kids… Meanwhile, I cannot wait to get my Pomeranian, we already have a name for it:)
