CONGRATULATIONS are in order for DJ Lamiez Holworthy.
Today, 12 June, she turned 30 years old.
She penned a letter to herself and wrote: “Once upon a time, 30 years ago to be exact, a black princess warrior was born. Born into a world where ‘warrior’ and ‘princess’ were two opposing ideals.
“See, while princesses wore big dresses, had long hair and light skin, warriors were big, full of fight and black. “Princesses were gentle and needed to be saved while warriors were strong, villified, dark yet brave.
“You Lamiez, you are and always have been both. You became the superhero you desperately needed to see as a child,” she said.
“You redefined what a princess is and broke every rule and every box that society tried to put you in. Happy birthday, ngwana wa badimo (ancestors’ child),” she said.
