When you leave Africa, as the plane lifts, you feel that more than leaving a continent you're leaving a state of mind. Whatever awaits you at the other end of your journey will be of a different order of existence.
Touch me,
Touch the palm of your hand
to my body as I pass,
Be not afraid of my body...
Walt Whitman
That's what Africa does to women: it puts us right back in the place we were trying to escape. In that position where woman need to have men around or are bound to feel helpless.
