I Found Out My Dad Was Living a Secret Life
Growing up, I always thought my dad was the most predictable man in the world. He woke up at 6 a.m. every day, made a strong cup of chai, kissed my mom on the forehead, and left for work wearing the same old leather bag over his shoulder. He was never late, never missed a birthday, and never raised his voice. To me, he was the definition of steady. Solid. Safe.

The Night I Saw My Mother Cry
I was thirteen the first time I saw my mother cry. Not the kind of quiet tears you catch from the corner of your eye. Not the glossy-eyed silence she wore after long days, staring at bills on the kitchen table. This was different. This was raw. Visible. A sound escaped her lips that I didn’t recognize. For a moment, she wasn’t my mother—she was something more fragile.

Role of Women in Society
In every corner of the world, women have played a crucial role in shaping history, nurturing families, building communities, and pushing the boundaries of progress. Yet, for centuries, their contributions were overlooked, undervalued, or limited by societal norms and structural barriers. Today, more than ever, it is important to recognize, respect, and empower the role of women in society—not just as a matter of equality, but because no society can truly thrive without the full participation of its women.

Child Protection
Every child is a bundle of hope, curiosity, and endless potential. Yet, around the world, millions of children face threats that rob them of their innocence, safety, and rights. Whether it’s abuse, neglect, exploitation, or violence, these dangers are not confined to a specific place—they exist in cities and villages, in wealthy homes and poor communities. This is why child protection is not just a policy—it's a moral duty we all share.

"Khanyisile: The Light My Grandfather Couldn't See"
I'm still unsure if my grandfather ever truly loved me. I'm the oldest grandchild in my family, born just a year before my cousin who was always seen as the who needed attention. She had health issues growing up, allergies, sensitivities - so naturally, she was doted on. But that attention quickly became favouritism, and with it, came the feeling of being invisible in my own family.

In today’s evolving world, we often speak about gender equality and the importance of empowering every child—regardless of gender. While much-needed conversations are rightly focused on uplifting daughters and marginalized groups, it is equally important to acknowledge that sons too have rights that must be recognized, respected, and nurtured.
