„Manka Menga aka Dr Winifrida John Mmasi MD (once upon a time and maybe sometime again in the future) is currently a multi-displinary artist who through her poetry and visual arts work involves challenging learned internalized misinformation both personally and socially. Her poetry, deliberately sensual and blasphemous is both therapy and victory over her abusers and challenges the scope of self expression afforded to African women and queer people. She is inspired by women who through their defiance of societal norms achieved a place in both history books and hearts and minds of the society.”
