Za • ma (zɑːmə ˈzɑːmə) | verb/noun – to try, to attempt; one that endeavors

The word Zama, in both Zulu and Xhosa, translates loosely to “to endeavor,” “to attempt,” or “to try.” It’s a simple yet profound term that resonates deeply with me. Beyond its linguistic beauty, the word encapsulates the perseverance I’ve needed throughout my life.
