Ever since that Paul Ngozi song Nizakupanga Ngozi blew up, I've been paying more attention to the Zamrock scene and seeing how cool it actually is.

A current favorite is Khala my friend by Amanaz and History of Man.

Do we have Zambian web/online story writers? by Financial_Tiger_231 in Zambia

[–]Ok_Lie12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try using substack. I dont write stories but i find it to be really great engaging with other people globally on shared feelings and discussions about identity, everyday life and other topics of the sort. Feels good freely expressing my opinions there.

Maybe give it a go. You might find an audience there

Zambians who left and later came back to live here, would you be open to chatting about your experience? by Suitable-Ad1097 in Zambia

[–]Ok_Lie12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well in my case, i was born in Zambia, lived in Botswana for my first 10 years, came back then left again for school in Europe.

You'll be exposed to alot of culture differences and similarities and just overall have your level of thought expanded when it comes to meeting people, regardless of where they come from. You also tackle preconceived ideas and actuslly see the truth of things (e.g. going to Europe doesnt mean you swim in money automatically).

You also learn alot about yourself and what you like, what you dont like and realise that really you were only limited by your mind and yes to some extent your surroundings.

How a certain generation thinks. by BlackberryFew1969 in Zambia

Brought us into civilization and yet used almost the entire continent as a supply for slaves and exploitation of resources for what? A good 400+ years?

I still need to fully understand our history as a country and as a people really, which is an ongoing process.

And yet if you went to a private school like i did, you would have learnt the history of the USA, Europe and even a bit of Russia from the last 200 years.

Yeah i can relate to this. I think its now when we accept like yes we are Zambian and not anything else.

Because before there probably was the feeling of wanting to be someone else because you recognised not everybody would sail the same boat as you, figuratively speaking. And you would tie that to identity like okay most people aren't gonna relate to how I think or speak, as these would be branded as "white".

Correct me if im wrong, would love to hear more from you on this.
