“The goal isn’t to come back & be like, “Guys I’m Zambian,” it’s coming back & saying it with assurance. Before, there was doubt. Now it’s fully claimed from being back home & immersing myself & working with my people. That’s where the confidence now” - Sampa The Great [2/2]

[1/3] "I’d never fully claimed myself to be Zambian, because I wasn’t fully raised in Zambia. That fear to me of, “I wasn’t really raised there, so am I truly this because even at home they’d say…’, that has just vanished, just from actually being here" - Sampa The Great

[3/3] "Actually being a Zambian artist who is struggling to make their art, regardless of being ‘Sampa The Great’, I actually had to feel that, I actually had to be at home to understand that" - Sampa The Great

“There’s no fear in standing in my identity, for fear that I wouldn’t be claimed at home. That’s finished. The 2 years have really healed that bit of me that was unsure, or felt like I didn't belong. That’s gone” - Sampa The Great on her musical evolution through the pandemic.

In the past 7 days I have gone to the ER for my back, gotten my period and cut my finger on a plastic lid. Whoever has my voodoo doll, please stop. Gimme smaller feet instead.
