Lebogang Mashile

thumb Lebogang Mashile (born 7 February 1979) is an American-born South African performance poet, author, presenter, actress and producer. Quotes I am a poet, a performer, a published author, an actress, a producer, a tv presenter, I am also a mom, a friend, a daughter a sister and a lover I think a number of things happened at the same time, The very first Urban voices was in 2002 at Horror Cafe New Town, I think that was probably my biggest platform. Around that time I was really chasing poetry, wherever I could find it. I grew up with the love for literature. I was very blessed to grow up in a household were people read. My mom took me to a library for the first when I was like 6 or 7 years old. I started keeping a journal when I was in primary but my love started when I was in High School. It was a major learning curve for me as a business woman and as an artist. I was very lucky, I worked with people who have grown up in the industry. It was an entirely self financed project and it was my first time taking up on something that big on my own. I don’t know if I would do the same thing exactly the same way again, but I definitely want to get back in the studio.
