Andile Gaelesiwe: Remembering
Meadowlands. SOWETO.
Finished this powerfully relatable memoir, REMEMBERING, by Andile Gaelesiwe.
It is a conversation, meandering this way and that way. 1980's Meadowlands, moving from one school to the next one because Soweto was burning. Her music career, starting a family and all those perfect in-betweeners we do/carry while adulting, jobbing and creating a life, and most of all, the incredible work she does through her foundation.
An amazing story written for me, for you, for all those who have ever been silenced, reduced, unseen. Evocative and celebratory.
Very triggering. We all have our Tebogo Morembole stories. Jeff Brown. While we have an enviable constitution, it increasingly seems like these rights are paper rights, in reality, the gender politics and the despicable behaviour of men towards women hasn't changed.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andile, virtually, and we

In my case it was only in my early teenage years when I became exposed to traumatic experiences whereas my wife had dire experiences from a far younger age.
Through grueling self therapy, and professional therapy as well, she gradually found healing in a quest to not be defined by her childhood trauma. Similarly in her recent book Remembering Andile Gaelisiwe shares about her tenacious journey towards healing and acceptance after having experienced horrific sexual abuse for most of her childhood and again as an adult. In reference to the title of the book, she writes: “The word ‘remembering’ has also been a mantra to assist me and to give me courage, because remembering my childhood experiences have been an extremely tough exercise for me, giv
