In this episode we are introducing a new series that we are calling "LyfStory Presents". We will have Tapiwa Gwenlisa Mushonga as a constant guest and others who will show up to discuss matters important for people living with albinism.
The poem Blue Roses was inspired after the recent school shooting in Uvalde Texas. Terrible tragedies like this have become an all too often occurrence in the United States. As a parent I am concerned that we are failing our children. It is our responsibility to secure their safe passage to adulthood. we must do better.
Some people say Father or Dad, others say Papa, Pops, Padre, Baa, Appa, Opa or Abba. In our house it is Baba. In today's special Father's Day episode we talk all about Godwill, our children's Baba.
In this episode we listen as the children share their favorite memories from childhood. You have been warned :).
How…do we stand back
and watch them suffer
arms over their heads
waiting for the bullets to fall
and pierce their skin
stained dark as the hardened ground
and draw out the blood
that will stain the earth
with rusted puddles
All that my father asked from me was some of that unconditional love. My self-righteousness cost me a lot of good memories over the years. I could have forgiven and loved my father. Love would have taught us to heal our wounds. I hope that nothing in this life should cause my own sons and my daughter to despise me the way I dealt with my father. I cannot imagine living my life without their love. I know now that...
In this episode we talk about one of my memories of my father and how that one moment has influenced many aspects of my life. I want to remember him better than I do, I miss him a lot and I wish he had lived long enough to know his grand children and their love for him.
In this episode we are excited to introduce to you Tapiwa Gwenlisa Mushonga or to us, Tete Gwen. Gwen is widely known as an advocate for people living with albinism in her native Zimbabwe and around the world. Listen in to this insightful discussion as we talk about Gwen's charity work and her role as my sister and a mother.
When I approached turning forty I felt that my life had taken a wrong turn somewhere and I went through a rollercoaster of emotions. Thanks to my strong faith and a loving family I came out on the other side stronger and happy with my life.
Being the mother of two young children with albinism was not always easy but my mother handled each challenge with grace. In this episode we explore how a mother's strength helped shape her child's life.
Growing up different can be painful, but it does not have to shape your whole life. In this episode we discuss how other peoples ideas of who or what you should be can harm your self esteem, but it should not.
In this episode we explore the history of albinism in our family from the perspective of our African ancestry.
Meet the Mushongas. Kuzivakwashe Godwill (Baba), Stephanie (Mom), Makanaka, Nyasha, Panashe, Tendekai and Tatenda.
