Did You Know Ernesto (Che) Guevara Visited Dar?

Mondlane with Che Guevara, Dar es Salaam 1965

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (June 14,1928 – October 9, 1967), commonly known as El Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual, guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous counter cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia within popular culture.

...Even Che Guevara spent quite some time in Tanzania. He was in Dar es Salaam for about five months from October 1965 - February 1966, besides the time he spent in the western part of the country during his Congo mission. And it was when he was in Dar es Salaam that he wrote his famous book, the Congo Diaries, while staying at the Cuban embassy during those critical months...

Ink in Dar - Inspired By Maya A

...I read something by Maya Angelou it says "we delight in the beauty of a butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty"...

I wanted to get those words but it was too long. So I decided to get the butterfly, few little stars and the letter N for my name. People tend to judge me on first glance, and usually they think of me as this girl that thinks she's beautiful without a care in the word and who thinks so highly of herself. But I'm a pretty simple person, even shy sometimes...
