You’re a New Yorker, visiting London. You’re in a café, having lunch while reading an art itinerary. It features the work of Thabitha Anodiwa Mpande, a famed London painter. You’re a fan of her work, & looking forward to seeing her exhibit. Then you feel a presence behind you. You’re coming to my exhibit? Turning around, you’re looking at the young lady herself. After saying her name, she replies. Please call me Thabi.
