Voices From The Community

Stories that echo through us all.

This is a sacred space where real people share real stories—of love, loss, courage, growth, and survival.

Here, we honor every submission with care and respect. Some stories are raw. Some are gentle. All are true.

Whether named or anonymous, each voice reminds us that we are never truly alone in what we face.

A Voice from the Silent Battlefields of Motherhood

This is a story written by one of my readers, and I thank her deeply for sharing this very personal

insight. I know it is not easy to open up about pain — especially the kind that is lived in silence,

day after day. But her courage in speaking out gives voice to so many others walking the same path in silence.

"Ubuntu has lost its meaning in this life..."

My name doesn’t matter — because I could be anyone.
And this story? It’s not just mine. It belongs to so many of us.

I am a single mother.

My son will turn eight soon… and in those eight long years, he has never seen his father.

Not once. I’ve watched him grow, ask questions, crave a presence he’s never

known — and I’ve had to be everything. Mother. Father. Protector. Provider.

But how do you provide when there’s nothing to give?

Every single day feels like a heavyweight — unemployment pressing on my chest,

no income to rely on, and basic needs staring at me like unpaid debts I can never clear.

I wake up to this heaviness. I carry it through the day. And I tuck it into bed with me at night.

I feed on my silent tears — for breakfast, for dinner, and for tea break.

I try to be strong. I try to show my son joy, routine, love.
But some days, I melt. Quietly. Alone. Because I must.

Ubuntu… the spirit of togetherness… has lost meaning in this world. We are raising children

who are searching for belonging — while their mothers are quietly breaking beneath the weight of it all.

I wrote this not for pity, but because someone out there needs to know: you’re not alone.

This is a voice for the voiceless.
This is a quiet scream — not just mine, but for every woman silently surviving.
