Her legacy,

The decade was the 40’s

The powerhouse was a woman

The woman was Joanitta

Joanita was my grandmother…


Her daughter,

The decade was the 60’s

The magic was a vessel

The vessel is my mother

My mother is Flavia Sanyu…


Her granddaughter,

The decade was the 90’s

The miracle was a light

The light is me

I am Sanyu Joanita.

My names, their legacy.

Their legacy, my essence!


Today I honour the roots of my joy, my name, Sanyu.

I love the flow of your poem ... taking us down memory lane from its origin to the current
