I now focus on teaching life skills through various channels, including counseling, customer service training, facilitating, career guidance, book reading, and project management. I am also a co-founder of several initiatives, including the Young Author Project, which has nurtured 20 authors from a local primary school. As a dynamic leader and author of 18 published books (with more in progress), I embody my philosophy that “Teaching is broad; it may not be a day-to-day activity, but it can be a life-changing experience through various learning channels.

Her book encompasses the reprogramming of children’s subconscious minds by exposing them to powerful affirmations and graphics that ignite their inner power. It also teaches them concepts like self-love, empathy, as well as instill them with the confidence to thrive regardless of their circumstances. Dedicated to her 1-year-old daughter, Tolamo wrote this book to remind her daughter to always feel worthy and never dim her light. The affirmations also allow children to tap into their spiritual power so they can live in abundance.
The Peer-to-Peer Youth Mentorship book is a book written by 11 University students from various universities within the Republic. All the authors are mentees under the Dr BB Phetla Foundation.

As a point of departure, this book entails various challenges faced by young individuals in the South African setting. It is therefore that glimpse of hope, to other young individuals, to say that you are not alone in whatever challenge that you are currently facing, and there is nothing wrong with you. Furthermore, it entails that it does not matter what it is that one maybe be facing, there is always a way.

However, this book is not only limited to young individuals, even teachers, parents, mentors, role models can read this book to gain understanding of how young individuals think and be able to intervene or duplicate where possible.

Conclusively with high rates of unemployed graduates and unskilled youth, this book be a source of inspiration to start thinking outside the box and create alternative solutions to our beloved country.
