"I've always wanted to take things that seem impossible... and make them possible for girls in rural areas."
Beyond choosing football, Tabitha Chawinga (@tabitha_tc11) chose to prove that a girl from Rumphi can do big things.
That a young girl who grows up in a Malawian village can dream in Chichewa about things like the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or, and those dreams can belong to us too.

Letters, our debut podcast, is back.
We begin with Tabitha Chawinga, a world-class athlete with accolades innumerable.
Her letter speaks of home with tenderness, and of ambition with unwavering purpose.

Big dreams don’t just show up. You build them, step by step.
In her episode, Tabitha shares the quiet work behind the spotlight — setting goals, meeting them, then reaching for more.

If you’re in Lilongwe, pull through, we’d love to have you. Send an email to [email protected], saying you’re interested in joining the Lilongwe NBC Meet.
On the last day of June, the Wona Collective garden became a gathering space for the very first @NonameBooks book club meeting in Lilongwe.
We’re so excited to be hosting the first ever meeting of the Lilongwe Chapter of NoName Book Club (@NonameBooks) at the Wona Collective hub.
The Lilongwe Chapter kicks off with Blessings by Chukwuebuka Ibeh, a powerful debut that we can’t wait to dive into together.
@NonameBooks is a global community of readers who centre literature, learning, and liberation. We’re honoured to be part of this growing family of international chapters.
To attend, email [email protected] with a note saying you’d like to attend the Lilongwe Chapter meetup.
Thank you @Zalusoarts for giving us a space to reflect on our five year journey as Wona. We don't always get time to look back and appreciate the steps we have taken to become who we are as a collective, so this was very timely.
Thanks to everyone who joined online and in person for the second edition of ZALUSO OFFSCRIPT THURSDAY✨.
We had another great informative session, and we can't wait for the next session!

We loved hosting An Evening with Jessica Horn (@stillSHErises) for the 'And the Women Came' podcast by Lusungu Kalanga (@Lusukalanga)
The night reminded us of the importance of documenting movement work and the people behind it.
Our in-house journal See is back with an essay from @wokepotato
Grappling with the concept of age as a fluid state of mind, Wendy has found herself perpetually anchored to a younger version of who she was, despite the inevitable march of time.
It was an honor hosting you at our hub. We look forward to sharing your insightful ‘Letter to Football’ in Season 2 of our Letters podcast!

"Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it, For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end,it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:2
