Is Change Still “Being Whatever is Necessary?” – Represent Our Resistance

Tambu has been granted a new message, one of resistance. This message, not surprisingly, comes from Nyasha: “you can’t go on all the time being whatever’s necessary. You’ve got to have some convictions, and I’m convinced I don’t want to be anyone’s underdog. It’s not right for anyone to be that.”
