Behind The Scenes - Itai Vhudzijena - Why this pseudonym?

Ever since I got Published, people have been asking me, why the pseudonym 'Itai' and 'Vhudzijena'?

I reply:

I like the meaning behind the name of 'Itai'

It means:

'No matter what one says, no matter what one does, people should always listen to their heart and continue following what they think is best for them.

The name Itai, meaning ‘keep doing your thing’ signifies the same.

'Vhudzijena' because 'ini ndinoera Soko, Vhudzijena'

That's Shona.

To translate:

I come from The Soko Vhudzijena totem, hence, the name.

This is how my pseudonym came about.
