I am just now hearing of Busi’s music.
And now, I am crying to find out that another beautiful soul has passed.
While I do not pretend to understand her words, I do understand the emotion and power in her music.

God help us all.

Thanks, Sokari, for helping her put her voice and experiences out. I hope that her article will be published.
I just heard the interview with her that you put up a couple of months ago. Hearing her voice and her story, and that of her girlfriend and child shook me. Her strength and refusal to be beaten down was so admirable — a sort of triumph in the face of being the victim of hate crimes.
Much love and peace to her and other women going through the same.

Greetings Sokari,
Peace to you during this challenging time. I read Busi died because of complications due to her diabetes and I’m sure HIV/AIDS related. Right now mix emotions are going through my body. I am angry because of how she got HIV. A women once again was rob from her life due to rape. I am sad because although I didn’t know her this women sound like she was full of hope, drive and was an inspiration to people. I’m happy because she wasn’t silent. She spoke out. She didn’t let what happen to her stop her from leaving her mark on life. She will not be forgotten. As corny as it sound, She is my hero because so many of us cannot move on after being rape or even having HIV/AIDS(even thought I’m sure it’s hard) but Busi did and that’s why her memory will live on forever. Peace to Busi. QBC in NY, USA is having a screening for Women’s Month. It is call FADES OF BLACK WOMEN. One of the films we are screening is Rape For Who I Am. I dedicate this film to Busi in honor of her memory.

Peace to the women at FEW. I’m sure they are going through a hard time with this lost. I met them some time ago when I was in South Africa
