@realprincessbee advised:
“Please also invite Sibongile Mngoma. An opera singer who is an artist-activist. Inbox her on Facebook.”

“I will humbly suggest that all artists avail themselves for this and part of why the artistry is undermined and having fake poetry is due to people not speaking up and fearing to be cancelled. Attend this please.”
