Sho’kwani

by Deeleslie Mondoka

This podcast is for one and all who are “weary” and “burdened” by life’s trails . Individuals who in spite of it all can still muster the strength to carry on and/or pick themselves up; fight on with “unflinching zeal”. Individuals who through the scorch of toil and disappointment on hopes back they RIDE! Dare I say, this podcast is for persons who choose not to stay down no matter the odds or the call life makes however dire. Ergo, “sho’kwani” is a signature of HOPE and CONSOLATION.
