Baobabs — Africa’s Tree of Life

They rise from dust and drought,
roots drinking sky as much as soil,
their wide-armed silhouettes holding stories older than empires.
In the furnace of harshness,
they bend, they transform, they endure.
The Baobab does not merely survive—
it teaches us how survival itself can become a crown,
how life, even in the hardest places,
still finds a way to stand tall.
