Robben Island is a place I felt. Deeply.
From the limestone quarry to the isolation of Robert Sobukwe because his words empowered the masses to hearing directly from a former political prisoner to learning about the horrible treatment of freedom leaders like Nelson Mandela ... the weight of history was everywhere.
The boat ride back to Cape Town left me somewhere between anger and grief and hope over the decades of resilience by so many people.
One of those days where you carry very little physically, but everything emotionally (my Segilola crossbody held the essentials like tissues).
