Captured mid-growl, this lioness wasn’t asking, she was declaring. Though enclosed and fed within the reserve, her spirit spoke loud and clear. In a country grappling with gender-based violence and femicide, her voice echoes that of so many women: fierce, exhausted, and done with not being heard. Roar means no. And no means no.
