If there is any place I don't belong, it's in a mind where the story of me starts with the branch of me being queer and not with my rural roots.

Freedom will come when all Batswana can assume and inhabit whatever gender and other identities they are comfortable with.

One thing you will learn from a lifetime of biting your tongue; memories lose their flavors.

The core behind my work is to ensure that as Batswana we start discovering and learning from what we experience.

I understand that it both is and is not my duty to deconstruct and then reconstruct my government’s views on the validity of citizens like me whom colonial constitutions factored out and vilified.

The world we live in is created and it’s been being created and it is still being created. So why can’t we take things that we assume are the building blocks of what we know about our lives, about every single thing that we trust, and turn them upside down just to be a bit more accommodating.
