When I was born, there was already European imperialism taking place in Africa. The Zulu kingdom was a weak and inferior kingdom but only until I came to throne. I took down other tribes leader’s and united a single and strong Zulu nation. Becoming a unified nation and overcoming internal weaknesses would make us more resistant to the imperialism. The British underestimated us as I have introduced new forms of society, politics and warfare. I taught my people how fight with new tactics and modern

Whether it was debating with my stage make-up or driving eight hours from a rugby tour to participate in a five day residential teaching project at a poverty-stricken winter school - being able to say 'no' to something I am passionate about (even at times when it is most sensical) has always been a challenge. I am a multipotentialite (I have many different interests and creative pursuits), and finding an area of study to satisfy my multiple passions has been a long, confusing and frequently changing

Before I was able to experience Carnival in New Orleans, I always thought that there was no real meaning behind it. It was just the time of year where New Orleanians were able to drink, parade and party all day long. My belief was that Mardi Gras was just one big party with no actual significance. This belief is the stereotype for many outsiders not familiar with the rich and paramount history of Mardi Gras. The traditions of Mardi Gras stem from hundreds of years old celebrations, rituals and rights
