Higher Heights for Girls

Hello there, 

Higher Heights for Girls Organisation is a youth run feminist orientated non-government organisation concerned with the state of young men and women’s relationships with each other and within the community. Upon realizing the number of issues the youth face including high incidences of Gender Based Violence, Unemployment, Teen Pregnancy and HIV/Aids, a group of ten came together to officially register the NGO on December 12th. Higher Heights concerns itself with helping young men and women maintain healthy relationships with their partners and society, are better equipped for the working environment, make mature and rational career and financial choices as well as become better parents.

In an attempt to achieve the above, we've began a blog which will become a safe space for young people to discuss gender issues. However, Higher Heights for Girls believes in diversity and will like to invite you to make submissions to the blog. Please find attached in this email Submission Guidlines. While this months call for submissions would like to focus on Sexual Assault as April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month we are open for submissions through out.

Please do share with your networks.

submission Guidelines can be found here

Submissions can be made via our contact form or via our email HigherHeightsforGirlsOrg@Gmail.com please provide the subject as submission before attaching the submissions as well as biography of artists.

Soul Cleanse Sundays: A Safe Space for ALL women of Color

" I wish there were places I felt safe to break in mote often. There are far and few. Sometimes between them I feel this swelling climbing up my throat and think this is it. Its too late to make it and so I crumble. Never forgetting that breaking is never beautiful. Its tears, blood and sweat. God I wish I wasn't so good at hiding my pain as poetry and prose. I wish I was better at planting confidence to grow into wings. But I plant doubt. I am mean to myself. I plant emptiness and so I never really become anything but an impostor. Nothing but an anxious shell of a pretender. Just an actress with a really good script for a strong woman. A brilliant one." I wrote this scribble in September 2017, a time in which my entire life felt like one big break. I was fragile and raw desperate for a place were I would be allowed to break in and where I would still be seen as a warrior even if I did. So when I did not find that place I decided to create it. One of the many goals I ...

Day 2. A Letter to my crush

Dear Crush, I don't want to write this. This letter would remind me too much of how we began in endless possibilities and ended in Nothing.  I've got a thing for boys who read books, speak multiple languages and smell good. You are all of those. But it seems I've also got a taste for men with no taste for me. Do I taste dull? Do I taste stale while you taste like candy floss? Soft and sweet but so incredibly unhealthy. So incredibly unhealthy how many times you want to be just friends while your hand is in my pants and there's tequila in my breath. I use to think you were awesome and it makes me sad to watch your light flicker the faster I run away. I wanted to be friends. But you lied. I can't stand lies. Not when I'm giving you all of myself. I can't stand lies. Not when I'm giving all of myself. _ Nothing
