One of my favourite South African songs is called βUbomi Abumangaβ by Afro House DJ Sun-El Musician. The song speaks about how we always to move forward. I feel that way about Preamble, I started as a small Instagram page that morphed into a newsletter, to be fair, I donβt know what it is, as it grows I keep going! Thank you for your support. See you next Tuesday!
