The title comes from when her grandma was heavily pregnant with Nadifa’s dad, she was following the family caravan and wound up getting lost and separated from the others. She sat down for rest under an acacia tree and this black mamba snake crept upon her belly before it slithered away, leaving her unharmed. She saw this as a sign that the child she was carrying would always be protected.
