Simz Ngema has been making her way up the ladder in the entertainment industry. With her acting career thriving, she has embarked on the music scene and winning at it too.
But even though she has a tight schedule, she hasn’t forgotten her desire to help create safe spaces for women to come together and talk.
According to TshisaLIVE, Simz shared why the “Diary of a young widow”, divorcee and single woman” project was a priority for her and the lessons she had learned so far.
“I realized that it is generally really hard for women to be really vulnerable and feel safe. There aren’t enough spaces for that because women are judged so much. No matter what or where you are, society is not kind to women and it is worsened by the fact that women often turn around and do it (judge) to each other,” she said.
Simz has been on a healing journey following her husband passing away in 2017. Her willingness to heal has led her to continue with a series of talks, a platform she has said opened her eyes to the struggles women go through daily.
“Healing is not a comfortable journey and we have a lot of healing to do, especially as women because they have it hard. Nothing is off limit when people begin to judge you as a woman.
Whether you are a widow trying to pick up the pieces or a single woman trying to find a partner or a married woman trying to make your marriage work … they will use literally anything to judge you. That is why safe platforms are important, as women we must rely on each other for support.”
The multi-talented star has recently released her single titled, Thola Khona, which has received a whole load of love from South Africans. Ready or not, Simz is ready to take over the world!
