The last picture that Karu has of her father alive is on the day of her graduation. She has this big smile that by the placing of her dimples makes it obvious that she is his daughter. He stands next to her holding her waist in the space between his biceps and his lower arm. And her mother who is half an inch shorter than her stands on her left side. | © 2024 by Shingai Njeri Kagunda. Narrated by Janina Edwards. Learn more about your ad choices.

Zimbabwean British Songbird Shingai shares her success story. From working with topinternational artists to coming back home and collaborating with Winky D on his new project 

Dele Sosimi, Angélique Kidjo, the Allergies and Shingai discuss discuss why music is their calling, loving the bass, being custodians and transmitters of messages, the importance of preserving music and putting it into a new space, and why making music is like your subconscious, creative self sending you messages. Dele Sosimi is a Nigerian-British singer and keyboard player, whose career went into overdrive at the height of the Afrobeat in the 1970s, joining Fela Kuti's legendary group Egypt 80. Currently he performs in three ensembles and lives for his live shows, which release his passion and unrelenting spirit. Beninese singer, actress, and activist Angélique Kidjo is known for her striking voice, electric stage presence, and her fluency in multiple languages.

Her soulful and mesmerizing sound mixes up her London world with her Bantu and Zimbabwean heritage. DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat, a.k.a. the Allergies, are a duo from Bristol, UK, who've made it their mission to turn vintage sounds into modern dancefloor bangers. Inspired by the golden eras of funk, soul and disco, they're known for their infectious grooves and bold basslines.

Unfortunately, what most people with a penis expect their sex lives to look like can often be misaligned from what they are experiencing.

My guest today is a professor of urology and the Head of Department of Urology at Dr George Mukhari Academic hospital and Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University in Pretoria South Africa, Shingai Mutambirwa. Shingai and I had a very honest and real discussion about what those with a penis can experience sexually and why you've got to give yourself a break and place less pressure on yourself in how you expect your sexual experience to look like.

My aim is to consistently remind you - and remind myself - that creativity really is for everyone….because it really is. Let's kick that inner critic where it hurts!.About my guest: Shingai Shoniwa is the legendary front woman and bassist from the Noisettes. Dubbed “The new afrofuturist pop goddess” by Rolling Stone, her debut solo album “Too Bold” was released in October 2020 and marks a new chapter of her journey. This sonic odyssey through an effervescent soundscape fearlessly infused with a soulful yet spontaneous spirit is the sound inspired by Shingai's London, Bantu and Zimbabwean heritage..In this episode, we discuss making music that's a movement, too, the importance of creativity in a happy household, and how music helped Shingai navigate a childhood packed with grief, stepping off the major label conveyor belt and making music against the odds as an independent artist with integrity and the detrimental effect of social media and influencer culture on everyday creativity..About your host: I'm Laura Kidd, a music producer and solo artist releasing music as Penfriend.

Will we “undo” or “solve” climate change? Could we still create a livable world if the answer to the previous question is no? Could we create an even more just world than the one we’ve been living in so far? This week we step away from thinking about climate change at the planetary scale and reflect on how we can respond at the community level with guest Gopal Dayaneni. Gopal reminds us to think about the climate crisis as a message in which we are being asked to respond by tending to our all of relationships, not just reducing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. In this exploration of crisis, solutions, distribution of suffering, and relations - we learn about the power of changing our relationship to a problem. Gopal has been involved in fighting for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice through organizing & campaigning, teaching, writing, speaking, and direct action since the late 1980s. Gopal is a co-founder of Movement Generation: Justice and Ecology Project. Currently, Gopal supports movement building through his work with organizations including The Climate Justice Alliance, ETCgroup, and the Center for Story-based Strategy. Gopal works at the intersection of ecology, economy, and empire. He lives in an intentional community of 9 adults and a squabble of kids. Music by Skeppet, Shingai, and Yesol.

Shingai walks with her ancestors in heart and music, she grounds this truth beautifully by expressing ‘’I’ve got voices in me, I’ve got people behind me that I have to honour.

This Episode is dedicated to my dear friend Alex Horsford whom the world lost tragically in 2016. We’ll always love you and we’ll never forget you bro. #AlexForever.In 2009 I picked up a gig as a morning DJ at a radio station on the Caribbean island of Anguilla. My daily sidekick was Alex Horsford. Alex was a little over 10 years younger than I was. However he had an interest in photography, film.. really all things media. He was also the younger brother of one of my best friends. Alex had just finished high school and was awaiting answers from job applications. He decided to join me on air every morning. We had tons of fun and really added something new to the airwaves on the island.On an island whose radio stations played primarily soca, calypso and reggae, we decided to cater to the persons who wanted something different in their mornings. We played soft rock, pop, zouk, groovy soca, commercial dancehall, 80s and pop music. Generally, I would pick the playlists. One day Alex told me that there was a song that he wanted me to play on air. This was a rare request from him. He said that a friend of his in the UK had introduced him to the song. We didn’t have the record, so I looked it up on youtube, ran the computer’s audio through the system and played it on air. The song was “Never forget you” by a group called the Noisettes.I had never heard of the Noisettes. However, from the moment I discovered them, I indeed would never forget them. I was smitten. From that day we played that song over and over on air.With Alex’s passing, the song came to mean even more to me. Over the years, I continued to follow the band’s lead singer, Shingai Shinowa, and her work. It was always a dream to interview her. I added her to my wish list for this podcast. I had no connections to her within my network. The likelihood of an interview was near zero. One night I took the chance. Why not I said to myself…. And so I began… Hello Shingai. I trust that this message greets you well…To my surprise she responded directing me to the appropriate email address and even added that she was looking forward to my invitation for the interview. Needless to say, I was ecstatic!Shingai Shinowa has a voice that you indeed can never forget. She was born and raised in London. Her parents are from Zimbabwe. She carries her family’s roots, culture and legacy boldly, proudly and most importantly unapologetically.No matter what she has accomplished, she remains down to earth and as centered as ever. With undeniable talent, striking beauty and an incredible work ethic Shingai continues to win. She recently released her debut album, “Too Bold”. A wonderful collection of sounds that in my estimation encompass the many parts that make up Shingai and her extraordinary journey through life. I had the pleasure of speaking with herThis is the story… Thus far… Of Shingai Shoniwa. 

Singer songwriter Shingai Shoniwa delves into her liberating musical journey into becoming a solo artist. Once the lead singer of the Noisettes, Shingai shares difficult moments she faced in the music industry and touches on the treatment of black artists. Reflecting back on a song that she started writing at the age of sixteen, Shingai draws similarities to the girl she once was, but also shares why being bold became one of her best lessons from growing up.

Kabi finds my body swinging. I watch my sister press her back against the wall and slide to the ground. My mother shouts, “Kabi! Nyokabi!” No response. “Why are you not answering? Can you bring that brother of yours!” My sister is paralyzed, she cannot speak, she cannot move, except for the shivers that take hold of her spine and reverberate through the rest of her without permission. She is thinking No, no, no, no, no. But the word is not passing her lips which only open and close soundlessly. Mum is coming down the stairs. | Copyright 2020 by Shingai Njeri Kagunda.

Ahead of the release of solo album 'Too Bold', Shingai tells Jim Drury about the new record and the many highlights of her career, both in The Noisettes and as a lone artist. Shingai also reveals how the exploitation of black female singers by the music industry riles her, how she performed weekly online concerts with her family during lockdown, and why she is optimistic about the future for entertainment, despite its current travails.

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we took our foot off the pedal and coasted down the chill road. No good taste was harmed or compromised during the recording of this show, with our mixtape (can we a call a playlist that?) featuring the likes of Good Dog from Glasgow, Gorillaz, John and Jehn, Courting, Muse, Shingai, a brilliant cover by acclaimed guitarist Antoine Dufour. We also celebrated our own stripped-down little version of Glastonbury festival, which was slated to happen the past weekend had everything been normal, with some artists who had a strong start on the BBC Introducing stage! We played Gaffa Tape Sandy, Palm Honey and Arlo Parks. Gaffa Tape Sandy's Glastonbury BBC Introducing performance can be found on their Bandcamp here. This week's masala chai, this show's regular feature where we play music from outside the UK, was more of a honied tea, keeping with the chillwave theme. We played Atlanta, GA's Night Beach, Travis Bretzer from Edmonton, Tokyo based delightful dreampop band Cattle, and France's janglepop band Pale Spectres. Come for the pun, stay for the music. CFRC's Yellow Brit Road brings you your weekly fix of British music every Sunday evening at 8 PM. We talk British music, and its rich and exciting history, and then some! Listen live on your dial at 101.9 FM in the Kingston area, or on cfrc.ca, Sundays 8 to 9 PM! (Full shows are available in the archive for 3 months from release) Just a quick note, many of these artists have profiles on Bandcamp, one of the leading sites working to ensure artists get paid fairly for the music they make that is getting us through lockdown. With live gigs, one of their only sources of income, being largely out of question for the year, do consider buying their music and merchandise from there if you can instead of streaming, which has a very disadvantaged payout particularly for smaller, independent artists, who are the backbone of an indie show on a community radio station like ours, without whom this show could not exist. John and Jehn's And We Run can be heard here. As an added bonus, here's a lovely acoustic session the band performed in 2010 for Soup Kitchen. The playlist for the show can be found here.

This week I'm joined by the incredible Shingai Shoniwa! This is a bit of a fan girl moment for me as I'm such a huge fan of The Noisettes and her solo material! We have a waffle about the music industry, her journey to becoming the incredible artist that she is and of course her upcoming album. Make sure you check out her new single War Drums available everywhere now!

À Londres, l’artiste britannique d’origine africaine Shingai a profité du confinement pour peaufiner la sortie de son nouveau single, War Drums, et lance ce message : la crise sanitaire que nous traversons peut être une formidable opportunité de changer la société. Comment ? En commençant par porter les cheveux crépus "au naturel". Une conviction partagée par Chayet Chiénin, fondatrice du magazine "Nothing but the wax" ou encore Kelly Massol, fondatrice de la marque de produits capillaires Les secrets de Loly.

Dressed in her lucky vintage waterproof by French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, British singer-songwriter Shingai is adding the final touches to her new single "War Drums". The former member of the pop-soul group Noisettes has a message. She believes the current Covid-19 crisis provides an exciting opportunity to transform society. But how? As unlikely as it sounds, haircare could be a good place to start. FRANCE 24 finds out more.

In the first episode in our Music Culture series, we chat to Shingai (frontwoman of Noisettes and multi-talented creative) and Ryan Koriya, an extremely hard working and passionate musical entrepreneur. The two artists have proud Zimbabwean heritage, and have just collaborated on the first Zim film to hit Netflix - quite a moment. Ryan has done the score, and Noisettes music features in the movie - with Shingai playing a cool cameo (as herself..!). Furthermore, we are excited to be the first publication to play Shingai's upcoming new single, 'War Drums', which is out on Monday (May 18th). It's got soul, plenty of rhythm, and sounds... well, like only Shingai can. Enjoy!

Music Life this week sees British jazz saxophonist, MC, and poet Soweto Kinch host Shingai Shoniwa, Eno Williams, and Barney Artist. Singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa is formerly of the band The Noisettes. The name Shingai, according to Wikipedia, means "bold/courageous/strong" in the Shona language. Eno Williams is the lead vocalist in the electronic funk band Ibibio Sound Machine. She was born in London but spent most of her childhood in Nigeria where her family spoke Ibibio, the native language of the Ibibio people in Akwa Ibom Staten. And our final guest is Barney Artist, a London rapper, who’s worked with George The Poet, Tom Misch, and Jordan Rakai. Soweto is a Mercury prize nominated / MOBO winning artist who’s been championed by Mos Def and Rodney P and has supported the likes of KRS ONE, Dwele, and TY. He’s also the nicest guy in music. Together they explore themes in music that revolve around family and its influence, the idea of homecoming and identity, and the importance of language.

In this podcast, I speak to Shingai George, a dedicated AviaDev Ambassador and technology enthusiast.  We discuss how new technologies such as blockchain, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence will change the aviation industry, which could be even more prevalent in a post COVID-19 world.  You can connect with Shingai here

Stance interrogates what Belonging means through tattoo art, literature, music and journalism as Chrystal Genesis is joined by guest editor, author, journalist, Artistic Director and CEO of The Bernie Grant Arts Centre, Hannah Azieb Pool. We explore the theme of Belonging through the lens of people of the African diaspora. In this original and eye-opening episode, SHINGAI tells us about her new record Ancient Futures, we catch up with journalistic giant Gary Younge as he leaves The Guardian for Manchester University and we talk tattoos with artists Jessica Horn and Laurence Sessou. Their new visual arts project The Temple of Her Skin examines the stories and aesthetics around African women and their tattooing journeys. In our Belonging feature, we speak to author Maaza Mengiste about her new novel, The Shadow King, which tells the story of female strength and is set during Benito Mussolini’s 1935 invasion of Ethiopia. And finally, we profile fashion powerhouse Duro Olowu to find out more about his background, pioneering womenswear label and his new exhibition at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago called Duro Olowu: Seeing Chicago.

这是真实故事计划的第 219 个故事一14岁之前，我生活在津巴布韦一个偏远的小村子里，村里没有医生、没有学校，只有几十户人家，过着最原始的日出而作、日落而息的生活。 我妈妈是村子里唯数不多读过书的女人，我常听她讲她少女时代的故事。那个时候，她还没出嫁，生活在首都哈拉雷。她哥哥因为赌博，在追债人的威逼下，把只有13岁的妈妈卖给了村子里的牧场主人，经过几天几夜的长途跋涉，成为了牧场主的第四任妻子。妈妈17岁的时候，生下了她的第二个孩子，就是我。 我的家里，一共有十几个孩子，只有父亲和大妈妈单独住在一个土屋里，剩下的所有人，无论是其他妻子、男孩、女孩还是出生不久的婴儿，都挤在另一间大的土屋里。 妈妈对我很好，在我跟着她去放牛或做家事的时候，她会给我说她在哈拉雷的生活，还教会我一些基本的英语、数字。随着爸爸的牛羊生意越来越差，不得不让家里的女儿们一个个地嫁人。我嫁人的时候，只有12岁，比妈妈当年还小。出嫁之前，妈妈给我做了一顿有鸡肉的Sadza（津巴的传统食物），吃完的第二天就要离家，不再回来了。我只记得我的丈夫努鲁来接我的那一晚上，妈妈哭了很久，在我坐上牛板车的那一刻，土屋内的油灯灭了。 我完全不记得花了几天才抵达了努鲁的村庄，12岁的我只觉得终于不用再和那么多人挤一张床，是一个好的开始。努鲁跟我说他25岁，可他的姐姐说他其实已经27了。他常常和村子里的其他几人一起去邻村进货回来倒卖，有吃的，药品，有时还有些小玩意。成为努鲁的妻子后，我听到最多的一句话就是：你要听我的。不喝酒的努鲁一般是不会打我的，如果当天货物卖得好，努鲁还会给我留些平日吃不到的东西，有一次我吃到了一颗奶糖，包装是红色的，上面用花体英文写着sugar，那颗糖我分了3次吃完，包装保存了很久才舍得扔掉。 努鲁喜欢掌管我的一切。他不喜欢蓝色，剪坏了妈妈留给我的蓝裙子，当他在家的时候，我只可以穿他指定的衣服。他不喜欢我跟除了家人以外的人说话，有次我给一个陌生男人指路后，努鲁用他的腰带狠狠抽打了我一顿。他喜欢去村子里唯一的小酒馆喝酒，每次我必须站在酒馆外的窗边等他，他要抬头就看得到我才行，有时只要一小会儿，有时是一下午。每个月他有一大半的时间都是在酒馆度过的，在他去酒馆的日子，我就没有东西吃。 12到14岁，嫁给努鲁的那两年，我一直很瘦。该来的初潮没有来，但我非常开心，因为这样我就算遭受努鲁晚上的粗暴，也不会怀孕。有一次努鲁在小酒馆喝醉了酒，那天实在太饿了，我去旁边的树上摘果子吃，他离开时没有看见我。等我用最快的速度回到家里，他把我绑了起来，把烙马印的铁块在炭火中加热烧红，铁块深深烙入我背后的皮肤，散发出一股奇怪的焦味，疼痛、泪水一起袭来，那是我一辈子都不愿回想的事情。二 村子里爆发疫情的时候，正是燥热的夏天，没几天就死了十几个人。努鲁当时在邻村进货，为了躲避疫情，一直没有回来。医疗队进村的那天，全村都去欢迎了。那是我第一次见到帕克医生，他看上去30多岁，皮肤很白，一头棕色的卷发。他在村口用生疏的绍纳语询问大家，有谁会简单英语，能给医疗队做帮手，一天2美金的酬劳。我是唯一一个举了手的人。 医生先生记不住我的名字，就根据我的年龄，叫我fourteen。大家也都跟着这么叫。大概是我年轻，聪明，不怕脏和累，能很快学会帕克医生交给我的各种医药品的名字，所以在医疗队控制疫情的时期，医生先生跟大家肯定了我的工作，我也慢慢和他熟了起来。 医生先生在非洲待了整整一年，他对我已经嫁人并不感到意外。在不忙的时候，他会抽上一支烟，跟我聊聊他的故乡。他告诉我加拿大有很美的枫叶，现在正是大雪纷飞的季节。有种酒叫威士忌，冬天喝了可以取暖。他的国家非常辽阔，有很多好玩的地方。地球是分南北半球的，季节相反。有种东西叫电脑，是个很神奇的玩意儿。这世界除了战争、疾病，还有毒品、黑市交易、欺诈以及很多危险的东西。健谈的帕克先生为我打开了另一个世界的门。后来医生先生对我说，他看重我是因为他教我的每一个细节我都一丝不苟地做到了。比如要天天戴口罩，带手套前后要洗手，且洗手时间要够2分钟。清理病人的呕吐物或排泄物后要进行掩埋，不能随便扔在周围等等细节，跟专业护士相比，我都做得很好。虽然跟着医疗队很辛苦，但每天医生先生都会叫我和他一起吃饭，那段时间我吃到了午餐肉罐头、香喷喷的芝士和黄油，以及人生中第一杯可乐。 在医疗队撤出的前夕，努鲁回村了。同时，我的初潮也来了。医生先生发现了我裙子上的血迹，用干净的纱布给我做了一个简易的“卫生巾”，用绍纳语和英语夹杂着嘱咐我注意事项。 我很恐慌，记得出嫁前妈妈教过我，来了这个，就会怀孕了。当晚，爸爸的其他妻子难产时流血和尖叫的画面不断在我脑海里播放。我做了人生中最重要的一个决定。三我走进医生先生休息的帐篷，脱掉衣服，想要用身体做交易，让他带我离开。他笑了，教会我一个新的词汇G-A-Y，并用干净的手指指了指自己，说了这个词的意义。在我一脸诧异的时候，医生先生已经为我穿好了脱掉的衣服，给我拿了够吃几天的罐头和饼干，让我几天后在一百多英里外的公路口等他。如果那个时候我出现了，他就带我走。当天夜里，我休息了整晚，第二天装作若无其事的样子工作一整天。夜深的时候，我背着仅有的衣服、水罐和食物，沿着土路一直往北走。如果日出前我碰到了树丛，就躲在里面，晚上再接着走。也许真的是运气好，途中没有碰到野兽，每次水快喝完的时候，我都能找到面包树，或者零星的人家，或者浑浊的小河。在走到和医生先生约定的路口时，我的食物快吃完了。那时，我已经徒步走了四天，我怕错过医疗队的车，只在周围摘了些果子，就坐在附近等医生。我永远记得那个画面：尘土飞扬的公路口，医疗队的红色十字在车身上闪耀。我冲到路上用力挥手，车停下来，医生先生下车后拉起我，把我安置在成箱的药品堆上，然后清理我脚上的水泡。我在医生的触碰中，闻着药品的味道，睡了长久以来最安稳的一觉。对我来说，那一天，药品混合着泥土还有医生身上微微的汗味，就是自由的味道。我看着倒退的公路，心里在不停地呐喊：再见了妈妈，再见了努鲁。到达第一个驻地后，医生先生召集大家，正式介绍我的身份：她叫Peggy，以后都跟大家一起。 医生先生又带我辗转了几个村庄，刚开始，我晚上常常不敢睡觉，怕努鲁会突然从帐篷外冲进来，把我拉回到从前的日子，也经常梦到妈妈在哭，梦见爸爸的咒骂。随着我们距离努鲁的家越来越远，我的失眠和噩梦逐渐消失了。 跟着医生奔波的日子，我的身体像柳枝抽条一样开始生长，我跟着医生和护士们学习急救、包扎和药品的基本知识。用简单的医学英语交流已不再是问题。一天，我准确地报出了十几种药品箱子上的编号，医生先生非常开心，他惊讶于我对数字的敏感，在闲暇时，开始正式教我数学。跟着医生回到哈拉雷的时候，我已经掌握了很多数学公式，又长高了一点儿。医生安排我进入了护士组，同时帮助医疗队管理一些基本的药品清算。医生先生还教会了我很多我从未注意到的东西，比如西餐礼仪、吉他还有花体英文等等。那段时间，我过得非常安逸，像海绵一样努力汲取周围世界的营养，无论是身体还是心灵。两年后，我已经没有了小村庄少女的青涩，可以很好地加入繁忙的医务工作。 那年年底，我16岁，医生先生跟我告别了。他说，他必须回到自己的故乡。几年的援非项目结束了，我的人生才刚刚开始。医生走之前给了我一笔钱和一张ID，ID的主人是个在疫情中死去的女孩，年龄比我大两岁，模样看上去还和我有几分相似，她的名字正是Peggy。医生说，亲爱的，你可以继续留在这里工作。你是个勇敢的孩子，忘掉过去，用新的身份开始新的生活吧，希望我们能有机会再见。四 有了新的ID，我非常高兴，因为终于可以去读书，考一份有正式编制的工作了。 医疗组的同事们乐于帮助我加入他们的团队，可我脑海中常常盘旋着各类数字组合，也许自己喜欢的并不是医疗，而是跟数字打交道的工作。 晚上不用值班的时候，我报了各种各样的学习班。开始学习使用电脑，之后我问当时医疗队的其他援非医生，要到了医生先生的电子邮箱，一直保持着联系。我将一切的进步与他分享，把他当做树洞和人生导师。我学习了财务、电脑、英语的很多课程，在通过了会计考试后，我在一家德国人开的矿产公司做了财务，并学习德语。刚做财务的那一年，我觉得人生终于开始越来越光明。工作上在稳步发展，每天会跑步锻炼，又长高了一些。用了德国同事送的祛疤膏，努鲁留在我背后的疤痕竟然渐渐淡去了。我想，现在的我哪怕站在努鲁面前，他也认不出来了。我24岁的时候，开始了人生中第一次恋爱，他叫阿粟，是之前我德语学习班上的同学，机缘巧合下我们再次相遇。同正常情侣一样，我们恋爱、结婚，但一直没有孩子。阿粟在一所学校做老师，我后来转行专门做了投融资。因为会两门语言，我随着公司去了德国、英国还有周边的很多国家。大概生活总是有起有伏的，30岁那年，我做担保的一个项目出现了问题，损失了好几年的积蓄。阿粟在这个时候跟我提出离婚，说我陪他时间太少，还生不出孩子。 我回归了单身生活，基本没什么积蓄，还丢掉了工作。羞愧和失落让我主动选择逃离原来的生活圈，那个时候，对任何人、任何事都提不起兴趣。我不知道世界上还有一种疾病叫“抑郁症”，现在回想起来，大概是抑郁症的症状。有两三个月的时间，我都随意在餐馆或者超市打着零工，满足温饱。还记得那天我从超市下班，收到了医生先生的电邮，信中他说，他已病入膏肓，想要和我当面告别。医生先生依旧像从前那样考虑周到，他为我订好机票，发来办理签证的邀请函。半个月后，我抵达了温哥华。病床上的他又干又瘦，棕色的卷发也因为化疗变得稀松，彼时从我们相识已经过去了将近12年。医生先生得了肺癌，他说怪自己离不开香烟，但就算死掉也不遗憾了。我留下来陪他走完最后一程。时光像回到十几年前，非洲炎热的夏天，医疗队搭建的简易帐篷里，我在做最基础的护理工作，只不过此时床上的病人换成了医生。这段日子，我们聊了很多过去的事情。他说我一定会越过越好，毕竟我再也不会变成那年无助的少女了。 医生先生是在不久后的凌晨离开的。我没有参加他的葬礼，回到了哈拉雷。五我决定要振作起来，医生先生当时帮助我逃离旧的人生，不是为了让我沉沦。我把名字改回了Shingai，重新找了份在银行做柜员的工作。凭着对数字的敏感，我的业务总是做得最快，可以在冗长的报表内，一眼就看出数据的错误。主管对我非常赏识。 有一年，银行迎来了重要重组合并，大Boss邀请了几位重要的客人参与晚宴，其中一位是从小在德国长大，如今重回故乡的银行家，当天我们聘请的专业德语翻译临时不能出席，我是在场唯一会德语的人，当晚我用流利的德语和绍纳语完成了银行家与我们主管、投资方的沟通，顺利将合作细节敲定。银行家特意对我的主管提出，希望由我晋升一级，负责涉外业务的工作。除了语言、专业能力，他非常赞赏我的用餐习惯。因为我是晚宴上为数不多将自己的食物吃完，没有任何浪费，并且向服务生多次致谢的人。医生先生在多年前教我的用餐礼仪，以及从小经历的那些难以忘怀的饥饿时刻，再次帮助了我。 银行重组合并之后，我得到了晋升，开始了第二次恋爱。 帕特来自南非，在银行的培训中，他对我一见钟情，开始了猛烈的追求。那时我已经32岁，在中国算是剩女啦。可是爱情是泉水，会滋润一个人的身与心。在稳定的两年爱恋中，我们确定彼此就是对方的唯一。那年圣诞节我们结婚了。我在南非约堡见到了帕特的妈妈，第一次见面的时候，她妈妈特意做了Sadza，混合着我爱吃的蔬菜、鸡肉和玉米粒。我重新找到了一个充满爱的家庭。 婚后我申请调动，去了南非约堡的银行，跟帕特开始了在一个新国度的生活。一年后，我们的孩子出生，是个可爱的女儿。我跟无数个职场妈妈一样，辛苦又甜蜜。35岁，我们有了第二个孩子，但我经历了难产，切除了子宫。 今年，我已经37岁了，有两个孩子，工作上负责银行海外业务的管理，我去过很多国家，感恩人生中的一切美好和机遇，也珍惜曾受过的苦难。也许很多人觉得，一个乡村少女走到今天已经可以停下来了。但我的梦想还在继续，下一步我想要在津巴开一间自己的美甲店。在津巴美甲要50-60美金，我在中国的餐馆排队吃饭，美甲竟然是免费的，而且款式、颜色非常新颖、漂亮。所以下一步我会让津巴的闺蜜来中国学习美甲，然后一起投资开店。 目前，在工作之余我也参加了艾滋病防治宣传的公益工作。我翻译了德国先进建筑学书籍，我也在中国和合作伙伴一起，想把中国杂交水稻的项目在津巴推行，也想把先进的清洁水技术带回非洲。我希望能用我微薄的能力，去感染更多人，通过日积月累的努力，解决困扰这片土地世世代代的几大难题——水源、粮食、疾病和住房。我的朋友告诉我，中国人把四十岁叫做“不惑之年”，意思是这个年纪的人遇到事情能够明辨是非，不再困惑。我马上就要到40岁了，我常常回想过去的每个点滴，想起医生先生教我做的事：不要停止学习，别怕苦和疼，用最好的方法做最正确的事。 Shingai的意思是 be strong，我告诉自己，虽然会很累很疼，但只要踮起脚尖，糖罐就不会空。口述：Shingai，南非某银行高管作者覃月，现为翻译工作者播音 | 黛诺编辑 | 王大鹏 欢迎关注我们的微信公众号，真实故事计划（ID:zhenshigushi1），每天一个打动人心的故事。
