Wandi was definitely one of the most important characters in South African TV history, imo, in terms driving conversation and awareness about trans identity, not just for non-queer folk but also queer folk who were still on their journey understanding and accepting themselves🤍
I swear if ya actually would read the curriculum content for L.O you would realize actually it's important. It may be delivered poorly & may need some adjustments but it's still quite critical.
My top 5 favourite UMI songs (that no one asked for):
1. Remember Me
2. Butterfly
3. Breathe
4. Love Affair/ Midnight Blues (I can't choose 😭)
5. Synergy / moonlit room
Chappelle added, “To the transgender community, I am more than willing to give you an audience, but you will not summon me. I am not bending to anyone’s demands."

Jada & Will have agreed on a union that works for them, and they are quite happy. And we should all respect that. We all live different lives & we all won't do things the same (at least the brave enough won't follow the norm).

I don't think I have the energy for this academic year. I get anxious just thinking about it. Last year showed me flames & I experienced the lowest lows of my life. I will get through it though because I guess there's no other way. But damn it's about to be one hell of a ride.
