What I Know So Far
Questions have always tugged at the hem of whatever cloak I wear. The human whys and hows. This site is an answer to that persistent call, one that followed me from long afternoons of wondering, reading, and writing on the red stoep of my parents' house in Maseru, Lesotho.
In obedience, I write fiction and non-fiction. Knowing my story isn't the only one that matters, I bear witness to the realities and narratives of others. I am Refiloe Letokoto: writer, storyteller, gender equality advocate, and grief scholar.
