The Proverb says: "One should never rub bottoms with a porcupine."
African proverbs are a centuries-old African Wisdom Tradition. African proverbs are not only incredibly insightful, but they are also incredibly practical. This particular proverb is about the importance of choosing your friends wisely. Porcupines are not known for being particularly friendly animals, and so this proverb is cautioning against rubbing bottoms with someone who is likely to cause harm. African proverbs often contain deep truths that can be applied to many different situations in life, and this one is no exception. Choose your friends wisely, and avoid those who are likely to cause you harm.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Zimbabwe
The Proverb says: "It is the soil that knows that the mouse's baby is ill."
African proverbs are still very much alive today. These short, wise sayings are often used to teach lessons or offer advice, and they can be found in every corner of the continent. Zimbabwe is no exception, and the African proverb "It is the soil that knows that the mouse's baby is ill" is just one of many that originated in this country. This particular proverb is used to warn against being too trusting, as even the most innocuous-seeming person may have hidden knowledge or ulterior motives. In other words, it pays to be cautious and to always be aware of what others may be hiding.
My guest for this episode is Kiden who is a South Sudanese - American artist, poet and entrepreneur. Kiden was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Kiden’s musical journey started as a youth joining choirs in church and school. During that time she learned about different styles of music and picked up the violin, flute, guitar and keyboard.
