While I, Kay-Dee, applaud Xabiso and admire her for healing and turning her lessons into medicine for other women to heal, I really wish it wasn't necessary. I wish women were no longer prey. I wish women were safe in society... But until that day, we shall "Pray for men" and trust God to heal our land.
