Quite a lot has happened this year and I will share a few really mind blowing things I have learnt.
In January I was commissioned (together with my soldiers in poetry KB & Samkelo) to perform at a 25th wedding anniversary and a 50th birthday of the bride and it was incredible. A few days later, the bride got into an accident and sadly passed away, my life has not been the same since; i was abruptly reminded of the fleeting nature of life. Let us learn to celebrate each other while we are still alive.
I also performed at The Denel Group’s excellence awards and at a 30th birthday party as well which all splendid. I am currently in talks with a few prospective clients so 2015 is looking good thus far. Full steam ahead on my side.
I now officially have my own space through which to vent and be the Zapiro of poetry on Blaque Magazine’s online platform which is super exciting!! Please check out my piece on SONA https://www.facebook.com/BlaqueMagazine?fref=nf
I have been spotted by a few bloggers and online magazines who like what I do and honoured me with interviews; here is a link to one http://riseunlimited.blogspot.com/2015/02/featuring-donald-neosapien-mokgale.html please check it out and let me know your thoughts, found some of those questions to be very interesting and whimsical.
Wait…there’s more! I am also now part of an incredible thought leadership organisation called YSI (Young and Spiritually Inspired) and I am a content writer and strategist and I co-lead the Male2Man section together with a runner up of SABC 1′s One Day Leader Siphosenkosi Malimela and we work closely with a team of talented intellectuals creating relevant content targeted primarily at men and engaging with our audience on the various issues we face and the solutions so that we become better men in our society. Please check out our work on www.teamysi.co.za there is also a female section there as well, a poetry section, a fashion section and all sorts of edifying content for the youth.
One of resolves this year is to focus on what I love and ever since this, I have been meeting amazing people who add value to all the things I love, from content writing to performance poetry and the business behind it. God has been amazing. Anyway, this first quarter has been a journey and half to say the least and it’s not even March yet, I can only hope for more positive things. My heart still bleeds for the family of the mother who passed on; I have learned a lot.
Let’s share our experiences and grow in our various pursuits in this life.
Thanks again for all your support my friends, without you guys I am nothing.
