    About this ebook

    "From invisibility to invincibility, Mikateko takes us through verses of despair, assault, discrimination, fear and hopelessness that girls and women encountered in a system that does not serve their interests to the life of purpose, power and freedom that girls and women continue to wedge in the face of all odds. This is one anthology that has the power to break and mend you. Mikateko has freed us all!" - Dr. Toyin Ajao (PhD), Researcher, Teacher and Storyteller
