MULTI-TALENTED artist Charity Phiri has joined the protests against gender-based violence (GBV) through poetry.
Phiri told NewsDay Life & Style that she will be spreading the message about violence against women through her artistic works, which include fashion design, sculpture, acting and poetry.
“I believe lack of communication and education in a world that demands an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset are causes of domestic violence,” she said.
Despite being an apprentice to her husband Shepherd since August last year, Phiri donated to the Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation ministry.
She specialises in flowers, but has also done Marigold, jewelry box as her first piece and Jasmine, a polocrosse racket.
