Local poet Tjawangwa Dema, popularly known as TJ, recently returned to Botswana from a tour that saw her perform in Germany, Singapore and Portugal.

In an interview with Arts & Culture, TJ said that her experiences in all the three countries were different.  She said, "All the three countries have something unique to offer the eye and ear." She said that the worst thing that any traveller can do is to compare places instead of living up and enjoying the moment.

In Germany TJ performed at the Berlin International Poetry Festival where she said she performed alongside other seven poets, including Don Patterson, Isa Lyfe and Kosal Khiey, among others.  She pointed out that in between she ran multi-lingual workshops with translators at a special needs school as well as address teenagers who reside in a rough neighbourhood.
