In a devastating Instagram post, Bozoma Saint John said she worked hard to get the house she wanted and is sad that it is all burnt.
“This is the house I wanted. The house I prayed for. The house I worked in blood, sweat and tears for. The house that I put a keypad instead of a keyhole in the front door because I wanted all my family and friends to have a code and use the house whenever they wanted.”
“This is the house where I found peace after battling with racist neighbours and a community that made me have to buy it in a trust within a trust so no one would know that widowed, single Black woman with a teenager was buying on the exclusively-held beach…The house that I built a movie room dedicated to my sister so she could see her films in her own sanctuary. This is the house where I finally felt like I could choose to spend time… when I wanted to and how I wanted to. It is gone.”
She described the loss as an unimaginable one.
