“Separate yourself from those who hinder your vision. Make a choice to walk away from the trap set to ensnare you. Realize when someone is pulling you backwards every time you take a step forward. Separate from them and the result of your action will be a life of success.”

Amaka Imani Nkosazana is a South African writer and poet. She blends African oral traditions with contemporary themes, exploring identity, resilience, and the Black female experience through vivid, lyrical language. Her work often bridges cultural storytelling with personal reflection.
