About Citizen Journalism Project

 Today Women'sNet is working with partner organisations in South Africa to bring together an initial group of activists and organisations to build their capacity to develop media products. The capacity building takes the form of a hands-on technical skills training on using the technology tools to produce media products as well as raising awareness about the concepts and use of citizen media as part of development practice. This blog is a space for this capacity building and sharing idea, opinions and news.

Saxophone Man By Myesha Jenkins

You come at me hard
running
skipping
falling
rising again
into the stratosphere of night
always the night
that you come
howling

Screaming your way
into my head
making me remember
filling my chest
racing my heart in syncopation
my muscles twitch
leaving me spent
slack jawed and teary eyed

I shake my hair loose
you come at me again

Reflections in solitude by Myesha Jenkins

If you are there on my path in the night
I would consider sharing a silent moment with you.
But do not ask to join my solitude
it is mine to walk into
there is much to ponder and I am already weary
I will not suffer your intrusion
