My name is Khanyisa (aka Learner Human) and I ask big, thought-provoking questions about the current human condition. My main objective is to embrace my humanity by becoming present with every aspect of this human experience. Learning to be human is a wild journey; especially in a crazy (dehumanising) society that seems to have forgotten, exploited and abandoned the human.


I'm a student in the classroom of life, and these are just the notes that I take while class is in session- I hope they can be of good service (or good company) to you.
