African Proverb
The heartbeat of a nation's identity are the stories treasured by her people. These stories are retold - often from the lips of women - their voices standing as sentinels against collective amnesia. When a woman speaks of history, her voice rises as a warden to protect communal memory against the erosion of time. With words, women become the defenders of traditions, moments, and the remembrance of a nation.
