This week of Words and Inspirations we feature the poet TJ Dema from Botswana and Obii Ifejika from Nigeria. The first time i heard TJ Dema was on the collective project Sonic Slam Chorus that also featured Zimbabwean poet DicksonSlam. Her seering poem ‘Dear Africa’ had left me hooked ever since. As you can imagine i was completely star struck when i met her at the Lagos International Poetry Festival last month but i managed to conceal it all through. You can check out more of her poetry online but for this video she reads the poem ‘Just Because’
