    What makes prompts feel lived-in
    No generic African woman.
    She is Tanzanian. From a specific place. Dar es Salaam street, Moshi market, Zanzibar doorway. Ground her.
    Hair = timeline.
    Short natural coils in morning shots. Long box braids in evening scenes. Hair is character continuity across the atlas.
    Texture is truth.
    Worn sandal edge. Flour on wrist. Ink-stained fingers. Phone screen cracked at corner. Details that say: this is real.
    Sound is presence.
    Call to prayer echo. Charcoal smoke haze. Rain hammering an iron roof. Matatu engine at idle. Name the sound.
    Imperfection is art.
    Slightly overexposed highlights. One strand of hair across the face. Motion blur on moving hands. Imperfect = alive.
