Mandi Vundla is a talented Soweto-born artist rewriting the poetry narrative in South Africa, one stanza at a time. Vundla’s work is centered around her lived experience as a Black woman in a country once ruled by oppression. Her poem is about finding peace within yourself despite the trials of life. She joined CGTN’s “Read a Poem” campaign and read a poem called “Bloom” by herself.
