Oshun and the lessons of healthy love
Oshun shows us what love truly looks like — and why dignity, consent, and community matter.
What happens when a voice is ignored, a presence unseen, or care withheld? Sometimes, life slows. Rivers weaken. Relationships falter.
This February, we explore healthy love through the story of Oshun, and what it teaches DeafBlind people — and all of us — about listening, boundaries, and quiet rebuilding.

Quiet understanding : the DeafBlind way of integrating their world
January is not a month of rushing forward. It is a month of settling. Of letting what we lived last year find its place inside us. For DeafBlind people, this is especially important, because we do not receive the world all at once. We receive it through touch, timing, body signals, partial words, emotional tone, […]

They are full of movement, sound, colour, and spontaneous connection. For many DeafBlind people, participation in these moments does not happen automatically. Not because we don’t want […]
Lesson 10 : men who honour women’s leadership
Men Who Honour Women’s Leadership The ANC Women’s League taught the country many lessons — courage, unity, strategy — but there is another lesson that is often forgotten: Their movement was strengthened by men who respected their leadership. Not men who tried to take charge, not men who tolerated them as an afterthought, but men […]
Lesson 9 : Strategic patience
Strategic Patience — The Discipline That Sustains Movements The ANC Women’s League taught us a quiet but powerful truth: lasting change is built slowly, steadily, and strategically. They didn’t only march. They organised for years between the marches. They prepared women’s committees, education circles, food networks, safe planning houses, and messaging strategies long before any […]

The Power of Networks: How Women Strengthened Communities Through Connection Another powerful lesson from the ANC Women’s League is their mastery of networks — not the digital kind, but human networks built on trust, loyalty, shared purpose, and constant communication. These networks were the backbone of every success the women achieved. They connected rural women […]
