Thuso Mbedu Instagram – Frames 1-3
My friend suggested that we head to “the mountain”. “Which mountain?” I asked, confused. “The one you took me to pray,” she responded to which I gave a quick “Eew! I don’t feel like hiking.” She interjected with a “we don’t have to hike. You’ll drive and you’ll stop where you want to stop and we’ll pray”
So we drove.
There’s something about creation towering over you and surrounding that makes you feel like you’re going to be alright. God knows.
4: I had a realization a few weeks ago: my colleagues met a version of me that even I don’t know. They met a Thuso who’d just lost her friend and was trying to navigate this new world. They met someone who wanted a hole to hide in and do just enough to not be considered rude by her colleagues.
As I sat on the flight from LA, streaming Mpho’s memorial I knew that something in me had changed. It was inevitable. So I whispered a few words to my Father. “I cannot control that this will change me. I pray that it changes me for the better.”
5: After my cousin passed Lunga shared some scriptures of encouragement. I found them when I went through our convos after he passed & they comforted me. When Mpho passed I scrambled to find them again… so I decided to tattoo them on my arm so that they would be easy to find.
The heart with the Cross & sun rays signify the joy of a new morning. Psalm 30:5 Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning
7: we’re going to be alright.

8 & 9 are the same moment captured by two different people. The videos were sent to me on Thursday and are a classic example of being trolled by friends 💔
Me: Sorry, I’m not wearing my lenses so I can’t see everyone, neh. It’s nothing personal- MPHOOOO!
Mpho: Waddup Thuwowo!
Voice 1: So you can see HIM?
