Thandiwe Muriu: I Am Because We Are

January 30, 2025 – March 3, 2025

Women have always been the unseen force shaping societies, even in a world that claims it can progress without us. But the truth is, our wisdom echoes through time, carried in the proverbs of our ancestors and the silent labor of those who came before us.

We are part of a nation of women, standing tall because of the history behind us and yet, we bear not only our own story, but the invisible histories of countless others. History is power— it is a call that reminds us that through collective actions we can find our individual empowerment.

I exist as I am because of who we are, and, because of the doors opened by the past we can step forward into the future. Together, we create a world where history becomes the foundation for a new tomorrow.
