Ssehura is Saartjie Baartman's true name. She deserves her own sail, she deserves love and tenderness. I don't know if she felt love in life, I am giving her love now. The moon is important to the Khoekhoe people, her people. I braided silver hair representing the moon. Braiding hair is an act of love and tenderness. I love her.
