About Me
About me
My name is Shantelle Moyo.I am from Zimbabwe but currently in South Africa.I love literature.I've been captivated by the power of words for as long as I can remember. I find inspiration in the beauty of nature, the complexities of human emotions, and the stories that lie within everyday moments. My writing often weaves together vivid imagery and heartfelt themes, and I love experimenting with different styles and forms.I am inspired by the poet,Kristina Mar.
Location: Gauteng South Africa
