I Finally met the Queen of Zambia 🇿🇲 Mutale Mwanza ❤️❤️😍❤️.
Firstly, I’d love to appreciate her splendid personality because she made me feel so comfortable, like she has known me for so long, she’s everything amazing and so down to earth🥰.
At one spot, we met three young girls who really wanted to take some photos with her, it's how she smiled at them and engaged them into a little conversation that fascinated me❤️.
M - Nene wanted to know more about me, what I love to do and what inspires me, I hope I delivered well enough☺️. I must admit, we had a very fruitful conversation beyond what I anticipated. I definitely enjoyed interacting with her.
After I mentioned to her that I am a bookworm, she decided to gift me a book entitled, “48 laws of Power” as a Christmas present 🥳🥳🥳.
Thank you M - Nene, I will also return the favor❤️.
I love the fact that she's a fellow bookworm ☺️☺️,
something I now know about her and that thrilled me even more.
When she said, “Thank you for participating in the and congratulations for winning”. I narrated how I fell into a sleep paralysis at home upon hearing my name😂😂😂 because I couldn’t believe that it was my name that I heard, I thought I did not hear right.
She posed a very important question to me,
“Don’t you pray and don’t you believe in God?”
“I pray and I believe in God”, I responded.
“So then why wouldn’t you believe that God answered your prayer?”
Very important questions because in as much as I created that content, I recall praying and asking God to grant me this win.
Most importantly, I thanked her for recognizing me since I was unable to personally thank her that day. She has just added a powerful tag to my name and I really appreciate that without any reservation❤️🙌.
We hope to see more people participate in the contest next year however, she encouraged me to participate even next year 🙃🙃🙃🙃😅😅so we might compete again 🙃😂😂.
I told her I'd love to participate under creative writing next year with my upcoming book then she said, “Participate in both, make use of your talent as much as you can like the servant who gained 5 more in the parable of talents”. I love her philosophy 😍😍😅.
I’d love to mention that I am dedicating this win to Arts because I am gonna use part of this money to publish my first book so that each time I look at the copies, I remember where the funds came from.
Am gonna buy all the necessary tools I need for podcasting too, I am super thrilled💃💃.
M - Nene was so happy to hear these thoughts and plans🥰☺️. She further told me not to hesitate to contact her in case I need some sort of mentorship in whatever I may not be sure of in my journey of pursuing my dreams.
Her last words, “My lady I will send you the photos so that you post them on your own, with your own content🥰🥰”.
M - Nene, thank you so much my lady, stay blessed always ❤️❤️❤️.
