Spoken Word artist Esperance Luvindao is a gifted poetess. Many may know her from the Namibia Annual Music Awards (NAMAs) stage but Esperance writes poetry to speak about death, rape and depression in contemporary environment. She started her year off by releasing the first ever poetry album in the country, to being ambassador against Gender Based Violence. Well reserved is surely a force to be reckoned with, hence her vow to deliver poetic justice.
