Quotes by Sisonke Msimang (?)

“I write because Africans and women and humans who have been considered less than others have always had stories and imaginations to take us out of the impossibility of the situations in which we have found ourselves stranded.”

“The key to survival is in blending in first, in learning how to be just like everyone else as a first step to freedom. You have to know how the inside works before you can stand outside and make everybody laugh.”
