Reconnect with nature, the enviroment therefore ourselves...
My name is Lazola MaDuka Solani, I’m a young, proud Xhosa women, activist of all things green, natural and organic hailing from the Transkei in South Africa, Eastern Cape. I grew up in a township called Mfuleni in Cape Town, completed my schooling in Eesterivier Arts School and now i live like a gypsy (based in Muizenberg) as i love traveling, camping on gorgeous farm-like landscapes anywhere in the world ( when the universe blesses one with some kind of a budget to hoop on a plane and explore ). My life is not that interesting except that i find my self in beautiful spaces where nature is medicine, i find beauty and sexiness in the forest, mountains, caves, ocean and waterfalls in odd old rural villages, wise old-young women's circles, dance, meditation, magic, natural medicine, Yoga, crystals, reading cards, sage, sea shells and fires at night near the ocean. In moist lush tall grassed fields, smell of rain in the early morning walks, culture, old traditions, Irish EVERYTHING and AFRICAN everything. I’m attracted to people who share the same care-free feelings, who want to share life stories with others and on the other hand people who are simply fascinated by the ridiculous love of everything i have just mentioned those people are my teachers as i help them understand how life can be so simple. Where hard work is always at play but also mindfulness in everything we touch, it’s truly better that way. I want to share, learn and grow together.
At the heart of this - I need it to be clear that my aim and dreams are to better the quality of the lives of people who live in the townships ALWAYS through reconnecting people to nature therefore themselves, understanding their footprint on planet earth, understand what sustainable livelihoods means, make townships green again ( mentally, physically, economically) and have the people who live there take the first step to creating safe, clean and healthy environments not only for themselves NOW but for their children and their childrens childrens future generations. To me it makes no sense why our people still today live surrounded by their own dirt/trash, take no responsibility and still waiting for the government to pick up their own litter. Coming from the very same background i completely understand the mentality thus wanting to dismantle gently in creative, sympathetic and fun ways.
