In her debut show, Thenjiwe, the Queen of deadpan, discusses how the world has collectively misremembered facts and events that have led to Africa being in the state that it's in. The former lawyer shares her experiences of adjusting to life in a new country and how she copes as an African mother living in the UK. Coming from a country with 11 official languages, she finds English the most confusing. How can a nation that prides itself on being one of the most powerful only speak one language?
