ZIMBABWE has an A-lister Hollywood actress and, on this special day, it is important to celebrate her rise into Hollywood.
Danai Gurira recently celebrated her 45th birthday on Valentine’s Day.
She chose New York for her celebrations.
“Another year around the sun,” she posted on social media.
“For those that may not know, my father named me Danai in commemoration of my birth on this day of love and romance.
“Danai, in my native tongue Shona, means to be in love or to lose one another. My favourite part of sharing my birthday with Valentine’s Day is making it about loving and valuing girls and women globally and, hopefully, bringing awareness through #LoveOurGirls to the gender gap we must lessen.
“This year, and every year to come, I seek to contribute to change with love.”
She has also been talking about her life priorities right now.
“More family time and spending time meditatively in prayer. I’ve spent so much time not doing that in my life that sometimes I’m like, ‘What am I doing?’, because I know how much better I am when I do it.
“It seems wretchedly cliché, but I really actually am trying to live more fully from a place of love, and that really means with everything.
“I think it’s really easy just to judge first, you know what I mean? But I’m trying to switch my lens to a love lens before a judgment lens, in most cases, and then seeing it might still land on judgment.
“At least, I know I started from a place where I’m looking at people with love before anything else.
“I’m trying to put my love lens on with a (sharper) focus, and it’s interestingly not always that easy to do.”
